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 the Office of Management and Budget (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).
1. The title of the information collection: 48 CFR 20, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR).
2. Current OMB control number: 3150-0169.
3. How often the collection is required: on occasion; one time.
4. Who is required or asked to respond: There are 355 potential
contractors who could respond to NRC solicitations.
5. The number of annual responses: 3,482 annually from 355
respondents.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: There is both a reporting and
[[Page 14278]]
recordkeeping burden associated with this collection. The NRC estimates
there will be 3,482 report submissions amounting to 25,462 burden hours
annually. The annual recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 633 hours
for 65 respondents. This amounts to an overall annual burden of 26,095
hours.
7. Abstract: The mandatory requirements of the NRCAR implement and
supplement the government-wide Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR),
and ensure that the regulations governing the procurement of goods and
services within the NRC satisfy the particular needs of the agency.
Because of differing statutory authorities among Federal agencies, the
FAR authorizes agencies to issue regulations to implement FAR policies
and procedures internally and to include additional policies and
procedures, solicitation provisions or contract clauses to satisfy the
specific need of the agency.
Submit, by May 16, 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?
