# 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?
