Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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: 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 NRC, 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.
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.
[[Page 58586]]
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 November 20, 2012, 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?
