10 CFR Part 39 establishes 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.
The overall burden has
increased by 23,406 hours from 36,890 hours to 60,296 hours (7,375
total NRC licensees hrs + 52,921 total AS licensees hrs) because of
an increase in the number of licensees by 108 from 170 to 278. The
number of NRC licensees has decreased by 3 from 37 to 34, resulting
in a burden decrease of 662 hours from 8,037 hours to 7,375 hours
(108 reporting hrs + 7,267 recordkeeping hrs). The number of
Agreement State (AS) licensees has increased by 111 from 133 to
244, resulting in a burden increase of 24,068 hours from 28,853 to
52,921 hours (767 reporting hrs + 52,154 recordkeeping hrs). A
significant reason for the change in burden is that three States;
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey, all of whom have a large
number of material licensees, became Agreement States during the
last clearance cycle. This change affected the overall ratio used
to calculate the number of Agreement State to NRC Part 39
licensees. The number of well loggings licensees licensed by the
Agreement States is assumed to follow the same ratio as the total
number of NRC licensees to Agreement States licensees. However,
there was a slight decrease in professional cost from $258/hr to
$257/hr.
