II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently

[[Page 28535]]

submitted a request for renewal of an existing collection of 
information to OMB for review titled ``Licenses for Radiography and 
Radiation Safety Requirements for Radiographic Operations.'' 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 March 17, 2017 (82 FR 14236).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``10 CFR part 34, 
Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for 
Radiographic Operations.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0007.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and 
holders of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed 
radioactive material for radiography.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 3,031 (141 reporting 
responses + 2,312 third-party disclosure responses + 578 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 578 (500 Agreement 
State licensees plus 78 NRC licensees).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 260,457 
hours (2,770 reporting + 234,741 recordkeeping + 22,946 third party 
disclosure).
    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.
