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, ``10 
CFR Part 36, Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for 
Irradiators.'' 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 December 10, 2020, 85 FR 
79531.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 36, 
``Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0158.
    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 amendment 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 material 
for irradiators.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 2,396.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 70.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 39,836.
    10. Abstract: Part 36 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, establishes radiation safety requirements for the use of 
radioactive material for irradiators. 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 the 
licensee possession and use of source or byproduct material is in 
compliance with license and regulatory requirements.
