NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently submitted to 
OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revised, or extension: Revised.
    2. The title of the information collection: Proposed Rule, 10 CFR 
73 Changes to Nuclear Power Plant Security Requirements.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often is the collection required: Monthly.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Nuclear power plant 
licensees.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 900.
    7. An estimate of the number of respondents: 75.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1,500 hrs. Reduction of burden: 
7,500 hrs.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3504(h), Pub. L. 96-511 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: Currently section 73.55(d)(7) requires the licensee 
to establish, maintain, and update an access authorization list monthly 
for each vital area. This requirement is used to limit unescorted 
access to vital areas during nonemergency conditions to individuals who 
require access in order to perform their duties. Thus, a licensee with 
ten vital areas is required to keep ten lists. The proposed regulation 
will require only one list per licensee which will encompass all vital 
areas.
    Submit, by May 7, 1997, 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 information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
    A copy of the submittal may be viewed free of charge at the NRC 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW, (lower level), Washington, D.C.

Security Requirements, 10 CFR 73'' is or has been published in the
