Needs and Uses:
In accordance with 32 CFR 655.10, Army Radiation Permits (ARPs) are required for use, storage, or possession of ionizing radiation sources by non-Army entities on an Army installation. For the purpose of this information collection request and the authorizing regulation, “ionizing radiation source” means any source that, if held or owned by an Army organization, would require a specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission license or Army Radiation Authorization. Such use, storage, or possession of ionizing radiation sources must be in connection with an activity of the Department of Defense or in connection with a service to be performed on the installation for the benefit of the Department of Defense, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(1). The information required to grant an ARP is necessary to protect the public, civilian employees, and military personnel on an installation from potential exposure to radioactive sources. The ARP allows the installation to maintain cognizance over the presence of radioactive sources on the installation. Cognizance is necessary to ensure emergency responders are properly notified and prepared to deal with the radioactive materials when necessary, ensure other proper protective controls are maintained, and to ensure proper removal of the radioactive materials from the installation when no longer required. Approval by the garrison commander is required to obtain an Army radiation permit. Additional implementing procedures are outlined in Department of the Army Pamphlet 385-24, “Army Radiation Safety Program.”

On occasion.
