-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 11--
Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or
Control Over Special Nuclear Material.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0062.
3. How often the collection is required: New applications,
certifications, and amendments may be submitted at any time.
Applications for renewal are submitted every 5 years.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Employees (including
applicants for employment), contractors and consultants of NRC
licensees and contractors whose activities involve access to or control
over special nuclear material at either fixed sites or in
transportation activities.
5. The number of annual responses: The majority of responses
required under Part 11 are submitted using Standard Form 86, Personnel
Security Packet, OMB Clearance No. 3206-0007, and NRC Form 237, Request
for Access Authorization, OMB Clearance No. 3150-0050. The response and
burden information for those forms is reported separately under those
clearances. The remaining number of responses under Part 11 is
estimated to be 5.

or request: Approximately 0.25 hours annually per response, for an
industry total of 1.25 hours annually.
7. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 11 establish
requirements for access to special nuclear material, and the criteria
and procedures for resolving questions concerning the eligibility of
individuals to receive special nuclear material access authorization.
Personal history information which is submitted on applicants for
relevant jobs is provided to OPM, which conducts investigations. NRC
reviews the results of these investigations and makes determinations of
the eligibility of the applicants for access authorization.
Submit, by May 26, 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?
