NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2014-0141]
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: 10 CFR part 9, ``Public
Records.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0043.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Individuals requesting
access to records under the Freedom of Information (FOIA) or Privacy
Acts (PA), through the Public Document Room (PDR), and submitters of
information containing trade secrets or confidential commercial or
financial information who have been notified that the NRC has made an
initial determination that the information should be disclosed.
5. The number of annual respondents: 6,970.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 1,968.1.
7. Abstract: Part 9 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), prescribes procedures for individuals making requests for
records under the FOIA or PA, and through the PDR. 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 September 19, 2014, 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?
The public may examine and have copied for a fee publicly-available
documents, including the draft supporting statement, at the NRC's
Public Document Room, Room O-1F21, One White Flint North, 11555
