Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0130.
3. How often the collection is required: Applications for new
licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time. Applications for
renewal are submitted every 10 years. Reports are submitted as events
occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders
of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive
material in well logging.
5. The number of annual respondents: 51 NRC licensees and 102
Agreement State licensees.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: Approximately 3.4 hours annually per respondent for
applications and reports, plus approximately 214 hours annually per

7. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 39 establish radiation
safety requirements for the use of radioactive material in well logging
operations. 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.
