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, 
``Nuclear Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR).'' 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 September 13, 2017, 82 FR 
43051.
    1. The title of the information collection: 48 CFR 20 U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR).
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0169.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion, 
one time.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Contractors and 
potential contractors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 5,613.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,985.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 37,337 
(34,393 reporting + 2,944 recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: The mandatory requirements of the NRCAR implement and 
supplement the government-wide Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 
and ensure that the regulations governing the procurement of goods and 
services with the NRC satisfy the particular needs of the agency. 
Because of differing statutory authorities among Federal agencies, the 
FAR permits agencies to issue a regulation to implement FAR policies 
and procedures internally to satisfy the specific need of the agency.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of December 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
