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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 39--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.
    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 will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and 
holders of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed 
radioactive material in well logging.
    5. The number of annual responses: 518 NRC licensees and 1,036 
Agreement State licensees.
    6. The number of annual respondents: 51 NRC licensees and 102 
Agreement State licensees.
    7. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: Approximately 3.4 hours annually per respondent for 
applications and reports, plus approximately 232 hours annually per 
recordkeeper. The industry total burden is 11,094 hours annually for 
NRC licensees and 24,004 hours annually for Agreement State licensees.
    8. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    9. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 39 establish 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.
