NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2014-0245]
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 and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the Office of Management and
Budget's (OMB) 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 20,
``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0014.
3. How often the collection is required: Annually for most reports
and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.
4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC licensees and Agreement
State licensees, including those requesting license terminations. Types
of licensees include civilian commercial, industrial, academic, and
medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses are issued for, among
other things, the possession, use, processing, handling, and importing
and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the operation of nuclear
reactors.
5. The number of annual respondents: 21,018 (3,003 NRC licensees
and 18,015 Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 640,776 hours (91,545 hours for NRC licensees and 549,231
hours for Agreement State licensees).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under
licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. 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 and to Agreement States 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.
Submit, by February 2, 2015, 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?
