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, ``10 
CFR part 4, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Commission 
Programs.'' 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.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Nondiscrimination in 
Federally Assisted Commission Programs.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0053.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 781 and 782.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Provisions 
for this collection are covered in Sec.  4.331 of title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Compliance Reviews, which indicates 
that the NRC may conduct compliance reviews and Pre-Award reviews of 
recipients or use other similar procedures that will permit it to 
investigate and correct violations of the act and these regulations. 
The NRC may conduct these reviews even in absence of a complaint 
against a recipient. The reviews may be as comprehensive as necessary 
to determine whether a violation of these regulations has occurred.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Recipients of Federal 
Financial Assistance provided by the NRC (including Educational 
Institutions, Other Nonprofit Organizations receiving Federal 
Assistance, and Agreement States).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 600.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 3,600 
(3,000 hrs for reporting (5 hrs per respondent) and 600 hrs for 
recordkeeping (3 hrs per recordkeeper).
    10. Abstract: The regulations under 10 CFR part 4 implement the 
provisions of the Title VI of the Civil Rights of 1964, Public Law 88-
352; (78 Stat. 241; 42 U.S.C. 2000a note), Title IV of the Energy 
Reorganization Act of 1974, Public Law 93-438, (88 stat. 1233; 42

receiving Federal financial assistance from NRC; Section 504 or the

355; 29 U.S.C. 701 note), Public Law 95-602 (92 Stat. 2955; 29 U.S.C.

Stat. 713; 42 U.S.C. 3001 note), Public Law 95-478 (92 Stat. 1513; 42 
U.S.C. 3001 note), which relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of

The public may examine, and have copied for a fee, publicly-available 
documents, including the final supporting statement at the NRC's Public 
Document Room, Room O-1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville
