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).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 20--
Standards for Protection Against Radiation.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0014.
3. How often the collection is required: Annually for most reports
and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.
4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC licensees, including
those requesting license terminations.
5. The number of annual respondents: 4,512.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 127,469 hours (3,709 hours for reporting [9.11 hours per
response] plus 123,760 hours for recordkeeping [27.43 hours per
recordkeeper]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 20 establishes standards for protection
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under
licenses issued by the NRC. These standards require the establishment
of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation protection
programs, maintenance of radiation records recording of radiation
received by workers, reporting of incidents which could cause exposure
to radiation, submittal of an annual report to NRC of the results of
individual monitoring, and submittal of license termination
information. These mandatory requirements are needed to protect
occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks of excessive
exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health and safety of
the public.
Submit, by May 27, 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?
