SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following

informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on March 25, 2008.

    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 20--
Standards for Protection Against Radiation.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0014.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required: Annually for most reports 
and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees, 
including those requesting license terminations.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 4152.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 3740.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 108,894 hours (4,434 hours for 
reporting plus 104,460 hours for recordkeeping.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 20 establishes standards for protection

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.
