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. The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on November 4, 2013 (78 FR 66076).

3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0005.

4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 4.

5. How often the collection is required: On occasion. The NRC does not collect NRC Form 4. However, NRC inspects the NRC Form 4 records at NRC-licensed facilities.

6. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees who are required to comply with Part 20 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).

7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 227,846 (223,700 third party disclosure + 4,146 recordkeepers).
