collection

[[Page 24626]]

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 Survey of Public 
Response to Emergencies.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX (New Collection).
    3. How often the collection is required: This is a one-time 
collection.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Members of the public that 
reside within 10 mile Emergency Planning Zones of nuclear power plant.
    5. The estimated number of annual respondents: This is a one-time 
collection of 800 completed surveys.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request:
    One-time event. 277 hours ((completed surveys 800 x .333 hrs per 
response = 267 hrs) + (uncompleted surveys 120 x .083 hrs per response 
= 10 hrs)).
    7. Abstract: As part of NRC's effort to review and improve 
emergency response program areas, a telephone survey will be conducted 
to assess the satisfaction of the pubic with existing protective action 
strategies, the effectiveness in which these strategies are conveyed to 
the public, and the public response to the possibility of modifying 
protection action strategies. The survey will produce statistical 
descriptions of customer satisfaction and acceptance of emergency 
response planning and protective actions. The response to the surveys 
will be used by the NRC in the development of new or modified 
protective action strategies including the types of strategies 
implemented and the means for which the information on protective 
actions may be disseminated to the public. The response may also 
support quality improvement in the existing emergency planning 
information in other areas indirectly related to protective actions.
    Submit, by July 2, 2007, 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?
