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:
    NRC Form 4, ``Cumulative Occupational Exposure History''
    NRC Form 5, ``Occupational Exposure Record for a Monitoring 
Period.''
2. Current OMB approval numbers: 3150-0005 and 3150-0006.
3. How often the collection is required: NRC Form 4 is generated for 
each individual who is likely to receive, in one year, an occupational 
dose requiring monitoring as described Sec. 20.1502. It is maintained 
by the licensee until the Commission terminates the license. It is not 
submitted to the NRC. NRC Form 5 is prepared by all NRC licensees and 
is submitted only by those licensees listed in 10 CFR 20.2206(a) to the 
NRC annually.
4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC licensees listed in 10 CFR 
20.2206(a).
5. The number of annual respondents:
    NRC Form 4--300 (109 reactor sites and 191 materials licensees)
    NRC Form 5--5,986 licensees maintain records
    --300 (109 reactor sites and 191 materials licensees) are required 
to submit reports in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2206(a).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or 
request:
    NRC Form 4--4,469 hours or an average of 0.2 hours per response.
    NRC Form 5--64,104 hours--52,104 recordkeeping hours (an average of 
0.33 hours per record  x  77 individuals  x  5,986 licensees) and 
12,000 reporting hours in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2206(a) (an average 
of 40 hours per licensee  x  300 licensees).
7. Abstract: NRC Form 4 is used to record the summary of an 
individual's cumulative occupational radiation dose for the current 
year to ensure that dose does not exceed regulatory limits. NRC Form 5 
is used to record and report the results of individual monitoring for 
occupational dose from radiation during a one-year period to ensure 
regulatory compliance with annual dose limits.

    Submit, by May 29, 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?
