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

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?
