Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:

4. Who is required or asked to report: Individuals requesting
access to records under the Freedom of Information or Privacy Acts, and

has made an initial determination that the information should be
disclosed.
5. The number of annual respondents: 212.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 167.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 9 prescribes procedures for individuals
making requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
or Privacy Act (PA). It contains information collection requirements
for requests to waive or reduce fees for searching for and reproducing
records in response to FOIA requests; appeals of denied requests; and
requests for expedited processing. The information required from the
public is necessary to justify requests for waivers or reductions in
searching or copying fees; or to justify expedited processing. Section
9.28(b) provides that if the submitter of information designated to be
trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information
objects to the disclosure, he must provide a written statement within
30 days that specifies all grounds why the information is a trade
secret or commercial or financial information that is privileged or
confidential.
Submit, by July 29, 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?
