II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.'' The 
NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct 
or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on February 9, 2017 (82 FR 
10030).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 39, 
``Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0130.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Applications 
for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time (on 
occasion). Applications for renewal are submitted every 10 years. 
Reports are submitted as events occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants and holders 
of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive 
material for well logging.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4,226.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 44,931.
    10. Abstract: Part 39 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), establishes radiation safety requirements for the 
use of radioactive material for well logging. The information in the 
applications, reports, and records is used by the NRC staff to ensure 
that the health and safety of the public is protected and that licensee 
possession and use of source and byproduct material is in compliance 
with license and regulatory requirements.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of June, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
