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. The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on November 4, 2013 (78 FR 66078). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 34, “Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for Radiographic Operations.” 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0007. 4. The form number if applicable: N/A. 5. How often the collection is required: On occasion. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time (on occasion). Applications for renewal are submitted every 10 years. Reports are submitted as events occur. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 2,803 (371 reporting responses + 1,824 third-party disclosure responses + 608 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 608 (529 Agreement State licensees plus 79 NRC licensees). 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 234,456.5 hours (502 reporting + 210,060.1 recordkeeping + 23894.4 third party disclosure). The NRC licensees' total burden is 30688.8 hours and the Agreement State licensees' total burden is 203,767.8 hours. 10. Abstract: Part 34 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 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.
