NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 39--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.
    2. Current OMB approval number: OMB No. 3150-0130.
    3. How often the collection is required: Applications for new 
licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time. Applications for 
renewal are submitted every 10 years. Reports are submitted as events 
occur.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders 
of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive 
material for radiography.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 170 (37 NRC licensees and 133 
Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 36,890 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 8,037 hours 
(116 reporting hrs plus 7,921 recordkeeping hrs). The Agreement State 
licensees total burden is 28,853 hours (423 reporting hrs plus 28,430 
recordkeeping hrs). The average burden per response for both NRC 
licensees and Agreement State licensees is 3.2 hours, and the burden 
per recordkeeper is 214 hours.
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 39 establishes radiation safety 
requirements for the use of radioactive material in well logging 
operations. 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.
    Submit, by July 9, 2007, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
