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, 
``License 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 May 27, 2020 (85 FR 31814).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``10 CFR part 39, 
License 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 15 years. 
Reports are submitted as events occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and 
holders of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed 
radioactive material for well logging.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 3,804.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 180.

[[Page 51072]]

    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 40,454.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 39, 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.
