Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

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

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension
    2. 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
    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 will be 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 estimated number of annual respondents: 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.
    6. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: Approximately 0.25 hours annually 
per response, for an industry total of 1.25 hours annually.
    7. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    8. 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.
