                II. Background
                 In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
                Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
                request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
                below.
                 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 15 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: 3,291.
                 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 607.
                 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
                information collection requirement or request: 270,760 (5,213.5

                 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
                following license and regulatory requirements.
                III. Specific Requests for Comments
                 The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
                 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
                to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
                utility?
                 2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
                accurate?
                 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
                the information to be collected?
                 4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
                be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
                other forms of information technology?
                 Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of January, 2020.
                For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
                David C. Cullison,
