    2. Current OMB approval number: 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 in well logging.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 126 (36 NRC licensees and 90 
Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 27,352 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 7,815 hours

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 
3 byproduct material is in compliance with license and regulatory 
requirements.

    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
