exposure record for a Monitoring Period''.

NRC Form 4 (3150-0005).
NRC form 5 (3150-0006).

    3. How often the collection is required: NRC Form 4: Occasionally;

required to comply with 10 CFR Part 20.
    5. The number of annual respondents: NRC Form 4: 218 (104 from 
reactor sites and 114 from materials licensees) and NRC Form 5: 3,994 
(104 reactor sites and 114 materials licensees, plus an additional

and 8,720 hours for reporting on an average of 40 hours per licensee).
    7. Abstract: NRC Form 4 is used to record the summary of an 
individual's cumulative occupational radiation dose up to and including 
the current year to ensure that the dose does not exceed regulatory 
limits.
    NRC Form 5 is used to record and report the results of individual 
monitoring for occupational radiation exposure during a one-year 
(calendar year) period to ensure regulatory compliance with annual 
radiation dose limits.

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?
