NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: 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 and
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: NRC Form 592, ``NRC's
Handling of Your Concerns''.
2. Current OMB approval number: None.
3. How often the collection is required: One time, as allegations
are closed.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Individuals who have
submitted an allegation to the NRC.
5. The number of annual respondents: 240.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 240 hours (one hour per response).
7. Abstract: NRC Form 592 is used to conduct a voluntary survey of
allegers who bring health and safety concerns to the NRC. The survey is
used to determine the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with
NRC's handling of their allegation. The survey will be sent to allegers
in various categories (allegers whose allegations were resolved but not
substantiated, resolved and substantiated, or resolved and partially
substantiated) whose allegations were filed in each of the four NRC
regional offices and the two major program offices, the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Office of Nuclear Material Safety
and Safeguards. The results of this survey will be used by NRC
management to gauge the effectiveness of its existing program and to
develop programmatic revisions, as needed, to improve its handling of
allegations.
Submit, by September 27, 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?
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?
A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (lower
