SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Radiation Permit; OMB Control Number 0702-0109.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 235.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 235.
    Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 470.
    Needs and Uses: In accordance with 32 CFR 655.10, Army Radiation 
Permits (ARPs) are required for use, storage, or possession of ionizing 
radiation sources by non-Army entities on an Army installation. For the 
purpose of this information collection request and the authorizing 
regulation, ``ionizing radiation source'' means any source that, if 
held or owned by an Army organization, would require a specific Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission license or Army Radiation Authorization. Such 
use, storage, or possession of ionizing radiation sources must be in 
connection with an activity of the Department of Defense or in 
connection with a service to be performed on the installation for the 
benefit of the Department of Defense, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 
2692(b)(1). The information required to grant an ARP is necessary to 
protect the public, civilian employees, and military personnel on an 
installation from potential exposure to radioactive sources. The ARP 
allows the installation to maintain cognizance over the presence of 
radioactive sources on the installation. Cognizance is necessary to 
ensure emergency responders are properly notified and prepared to deal 
with the radioactive materials when necessary, ensure other proper 
protective controls are maintained, and to ensure proper removal of the 
radioactive materials from the installation when no longer required. 
Approval by the garrison commander is required to obtain an Army 
radiation permit. Additional implementing procedures are outlined in 
Department of the Army Pamphlet 385-24, ``Army Radiation Safety 
Program.''
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    OMB Deck Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
