## 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 39 “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 July 28, 2023, 88 FR 48921.

                    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:*                     3,869 (26 reporting + 183 recordkeeping + 3,660 third-party disclosure).                

                    8.                     *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                     183 (22 NRC respondents + 161 Agreement States respondents).                

                    9.                     *The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request:*                     41,047 (94 reporting + 38,666 recordkeeping + 2,287 third-party disclosure).                

                    10.                     *Abstract:*                     Part 39 of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations,*                     “Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging,” 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.
