SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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 25, 2013 (78 FR 70353).

1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.

2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 39, ``Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.''

4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.

5. How often the collection is required: Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time. Applications for renewals are submitted every 10 years. Reports are submitted as events occur.

6. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive materials for well logging.

7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 2,393 (326 NRC licensees' responses + 2,067 Agreement States licensees' responses).

8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 235 (32 NRC licensees + 203 Agreement States licensees).

9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 50,980 hours (6,943 NRC licensees' hours + 44,037 Agreement States licensees' hours).

   hours (644 reporting + 43,393 recordkeeping hours).

10. Abstract: Part 39 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establishes radiation safety requirements for the use of radioactive materials in well logging operations. 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 the licensees' possession and use of the radioactive sources and byproduct materials is in compliance with the license and the regulatory requirements.
