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: revision.
    2. The title of the information collection:

NRC Form 4, ``Cumulative Occupational Exposure History''
NRC Form 5, ``Occupational Exposure Record for a Monitoring Period.''

    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Forms 4 and 5
    4. 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.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees listed in 
10 CFR 20.2206(a).

    300 (109 reactor sites and 191 materials licensees) are required to 
submit reports in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2206(a)

    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request:

NRC Form 5
    175,957 hours--163,957 recordkeeping hours (an average of 0.33 
hours per record  x  83 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).

    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. 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.
