NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection 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: NUREG/BR-0238, 
Materials Annual Fee Billing Handbook. NRC Form 628, ``Financial EDI 
Authorization''. NUREG/BR-0254, Payment Methods. NRC Form 629, 
``Authorization for Payment by Credit Card''.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0190.
    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Anyone doing business with 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission including licensees, applicants and 
individuals who are required to pay a fee for inspections and licenses.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 466 (10 for NRC Form 628 and 
456 for NRC Form 629 and NUREG/BR-0254).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 38 (.8 hour for NRC Form 628 and 37 hours for NRC Form 629 
and NUREG/BR-0254).
    7. Abstract: The U.S. Department of the Treasury encourages the 
public to pay monies owed the government through use of the Automated 
Clearinghouse Network and credit cards. These two methods of payment 
are used by licensees, applicants, and individuals to pay civil 
penalties, full cost licensing fees, and inspection fees to the NRC. 
The NRC Form 628, ``Financial EDI Authorization,'' provides an option 
to make electronic payment through the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) 
Network and authorizes the licensee's bank to pay invoices to the NRC 
through the ACH. The NRC Form 628 requests the licensee's name, 
electronic funds transfer contact, telephone number, address, 
authorized signature and title.
    NRC Form 629, ``Authorization for Payment by Credit Card,'' is 
another option used to authorize payment. The credit card authorization 
form is used by licensees to authorize payment by credit card for 
license fees and for payment of fees for fingerprint cards, and 
solicits information that identifies the cardholder's name, address, 
account number, card expiration date, cards accepted, cardholder's 
signature, invoice number or license number.
    There are no record keeping requirements associated with this 
collection.
    Submit, by February 11, 2008, 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 draft supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance
