II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``NRC 
Form 212, ``Qualifications Investigation Professional, Technical, and 
Administrative Positions''. The NRC hereby 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 August 3, 2016 (81 FR 51215).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 212, 
``Qualifications Investigation Professional, Technical, and 
Administrative Positions.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0033.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 212.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: The form is 
collected for every new hire to the NRC.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Former employers, 
supervisors, and other references indicated on the job application are 
asked to complete the NRC Form 212.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,000.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,000.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 500 
hours.
    10. Abstract: Information requested on NRC Form 212, 
``Qualifications Investigation, Professional, Technical, and 
Administrative Positions'' is used to determine the qualifications and 
suitability of external applicants for employment with the NRC. The 
completed form may be used to examine, rate and/or assess the 
prospective employee's qualifications. The information regarding the 
qualifications of applicants for employment is reviewed by professional 
personnel of the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer, in 
conjunction with other information in the NRC files, to determine the 
qualifications of the applicant for appointment to the position under 
consideration.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of January 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
