NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2009-0334]
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 invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register 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: NRC Form 531, Request
for Taxpayer Identification Number.
2. Current OMB approval number: OMB No. 3150-0188.
3. How often the collection is required: One time from each
applicant or individual to enable the Department of the Treasury to
process electronic payments or collect debts owed to the Government.
4. Who is required or asked to report: All individuals doing
business with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, including
contractors and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits.
5. The number of annual respondents: 300.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 25 hours (5 minutes per respondent).
7. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires
that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from
individuals who do business with the Government, including contractors
and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits. The TIN will
be used to process all electronic payments (refunds) made to licensees
by electronic funds transfer by the Department of the Treasury. The
Department of the Treasury will use the TIN to determine whether the
refund can be used to administratively offset any delinquent debts
reported to the Treasury by other government agencies. In addition, the
TIN will be used to collect and report to the Department of the
Treasury any delinquent indebtedness arising out of the licensee's or
applicant's relationship with the NRC.
Submit, by October 13, 2009, 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?
