SUMMARY: The 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.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: New
2. The title of the information collection: Request for Taxpayer
Identification Number.
3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 531
4. How often the collection is required: One time from each
applicant or individual to enable the Department of Treasury to process
electronic financial payment or collect debts owed to the government.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: All individuals doing
business with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, including contractors
and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits.
6. An estimate of the number of responses: 2,600 (1,600 the first
year and 500 annually thereafter or 867 annually over a three year
period).
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 867.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 72 (5 minutes per response).

10. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires
that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from
individuals who do business with the Government, including contractors
and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits. The TIN will
be used to process all electronic payments (refunds) made to licensees
by electronic funds transfer by the Department of the Treasury. The
Department of the Treasury will use the TIN to determine whether the
refund
[[Page 60921]]
can be used to administratively offset any delinquent debts reported to
the Treasury by other government agencies. In addition, the TIN will be
used to collect and report to the Department of the Treasury any
delinquent indebtedness arising out of the licensee's or applicant's
relationship with the NRC.
