    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract:--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending 10 CFR 
Parts 10, 11, 25 and 95 to conform the requirements for the protection 
of and access to classified information to new national security policy 
documents, to conform the addressee for some reporting requirements to 
reflect the results of a reorganization within the NRC Office of 
Administration, and to reflect the reassignment of some 
responsibilities from the Executive Director for Operations to the 
Deputy Executive Director for Management Services. The proposed 
mandatory requirements are necessary to ensure that classified 
information in the possession of NRC licensees and others under the 
NRC's regulatory requirements is protected in accordance with current 
national policies. The change in addressee is necessary to ensure 
proper receipt of reports from regulated entities, and the change in 
responsibilities is necessary to accurately reflect which NRC official 
is responsible for certain decisions.
    Submit, by September 4, 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?
    A copy of the submittal may be viewed free of charge at the NRC 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW, (lower level), Washington, DC. 
You may also review the submittal and provide comments via the NRC's 
interactive rulemaking web site through the NRC home page (http://
