NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 current valid OMB control number.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 20--
Standards for Protection Against Radiation.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Annually for most reports 
and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees, 
including those requesting license termination.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 5,019 (507 plus 4,512 
recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,512.
    8. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: 128,669 hours (4,909 hours for reporting 
[9.68 hours per response] plus 123,760 hours for recordkeeping [27.43 
hours per recordkeeper]).
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection 
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under 
licenses issued by the NRC. These standards require the establishment 
of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records, 
recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents 
which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report 
to NRC of the results of individual monitoring, and submittal of 
license termination information. These mandatory requirements are 
needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks 
of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health 
and safety of the public.
