BILLING CODE 7555–01–M 

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 34—Licenses for 

Radiography and Radiation Safety 

Requirements for Radiographic 

Operations. 

2. Current OMB approval number: 

OMB No. 3150–0007. 

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: 

253 (55 NRC licensees and 198 

Agreement State licensees). 

6. The number of hours needed 

annually to complete the requirement or 

request: 199,176 hours. The NRC 

licensees total burden is 43,397 hours 

(72 reporting hrs [an average of 1.2 

hours per response] plus 43,325 

recordkeeping hrs [an average of 383 

hours per recordkeeper]). The 

Agreement State licensees total burden 

is 155,728 hours (269 reporting hrs [an 

average of 1.4 hour per response] plus 

155,459 recordkeeping hrs [an average 

of 382 hours per recordkeeper]). 

7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 34 establishes 

radiation safety requirements for the use 

of radioactive material in industrial 

radiography. 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 17, 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?

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 70—Domestic 

Licensing of Special Nuclear Material. 

2. Current OMB approval number: 

OMB No. 3150–0009. 

3. How often the collection is 

required: Required reports are collected 

and evaluated on a continuing basis as 

events occur. Applications for new 

licenses and amendments may be 

submitted at any time. Generally, 

renewal applications are submitted 

every ten years and for major fuel cycle 

facilities updates of the safety 

demonstration section are submitted 

every two years. Nuclear material 

control and accounting information is 

submitted in accordance with specified 

instructions. 

4. Who is required or asked to report: 

Applicants for and holders of specific 

NRC licenses to receive title to, own, 

acquire, deliver, receive, possess, use, or 

initially transfer special nuclear 

material. 

5. The number of annual respondents: 

1,256 (655 plus 601 recordkeepers). 

6. The number of hours needed 

annually to complete the requirement or 

request: 89,465 (81,765 reporting hours 

+ 7,700 recordkeeping hours) or an 

average of 125 hours per response 

(81,765 reporting burden hours/655 

responses) and an average of 13 hours 

per recordkeeper (7,700 recordkeeping 

burden hours/601 recordkeepers). 

7. Abstract: Part 70 establishes 

requirements for licenses to own, 

acquire, receive, possess, use, and 

transfer special nuclear material. The 

information in the applications, reports, 

and records is used by NRC to make 

licensing and other regulatory 

determinations concerning the use of 

special nuclear material. The revised 

estimate of burden reflects the addition 

of requirements for documentation for 

termination or transfer of licensed 

activities, and modifying licenses.
