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: Security Termination
Statement; Request for Access Authorization; Request for Visit or
Access Approval.
2. Current OMB approval number: Nos. 3150-0049; 3150-0050; 3150-
0051.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC Form 136, licensee and
contractor employees, who have been granted an NRC access
authorization; NRC Form 237, any employee of approximately 20 licensees
and 2 contractors who will require an NRC access authorization; NRC
Form 277, any employee of two current NRC contractors who (1) holds an
NRC access authorization, and (2) needs to make a visit to NRC, other
contractors/licensees or government agencies in which access to
classified information will be involved or unescorted area access is
desired.
5. The number of annual respondents: NRC Form 136, 22; NRC Form
237, 22; NRC Form 277, 2.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: NRC Form 136, 40; NRC Form 237, 16; NRC Form 277, 1.
7. Abstract: The NRC Form 136 affects the employees of licensees
and contractors who have been granted an NRC access authorization. When
access authorization is no longer needed, the completion of the form
apprises the respondent of their continuing security responsibilities.
The NRC Form 237 is completed by licensees, NRC contractors or
individuals who require an NRC access authorization. The NRC Form 277
affects the employees of contractors who have been granted an NRC
access authorization and require verification of that access
authorization and need-to-know in conjunction with a visit to NRC or
another facility.
Submit, by May 1, 1998, 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?
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?
