NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE REQUIREMENT TO BE SUBMITTED:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 20
Standards for Protection Against Radiation.
2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0014.
3. How often the collection is required: Annually for most reports;
at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.
4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC licensees, including
those requesting license termination.
5. The number of annual responses: The total annual number of NRC
licensees responding to this requirement by either reporting or
recordkeeping is 5939.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 165,498 (approximately 28 hours per licensee).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 20 establishes standards for protection
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under
licenses issued by the NRC. These standards require the establishment
of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records,
recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents
which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report
to NRC of the results of individual monitoring, and submittal of
license termination information. These mandatory requirements are
needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks
of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health
and safety of the public.
Submit, by February 16, 1999, comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
[[Page 69119]]
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
