burden of the information collection on respondents, including through
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Army
Radiation Permit; OMB Control Number 0702-0109.
Needs and Uses: The Department of the Army must collect information
to process applications for Army Radiation Permits (ARPs). This
collection is necessary to ensure the safe use, storage, or possession
of ionizing radiation sources by non-Army entities on an Army
installation, as required by 32 CFR 655.10. The permit system is
essential for protecting military personnel, civilian employees, and
the public from potential radiation exposure.
The information is used by the garrison commander to evaluate an
applicant's request for an ARP. The application requires the entity to
describe the purpose of the radiation source, provide qualifications of
operating personnel, submit safety and storage procedures, and show
evidence of a valid use authorization. This allows the commander to
ensure the applicant can handle the radioactive materials safely and in
accordance with all regulations.
The respondents are non-Army entities, including civilian
contractors, seeking to bring ionizing radiation sources onto an Army
installation for a DoD-related activity. Without this information
collection, the Army would be unable to maintain cognizance over
radioactive sources on its installations, hindering the ability to
prepare emergency responders and ensure the overall safety and security
of the installation.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 470.
Number of Respondents: 235.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 235.
Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: April 1, 2026.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
