    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 445, ``Request for Approval of Official Foreign Travel.'' 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 12, 2017; 82 FR 
42842.

    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Non-Federal 
consultants, contractors and NRC invited travelers (i.e., non-NRC 
employees).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 50.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 50.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 50.
    10. Abstract: Form 445, ``Request for Approval of Foreign Travel,''

must travel to foreign countries in the course of conducting business 
for the NRC. In accordance with 48 CFR 20, ``NRC Acquisition 
Regulation,'' contractors traveling to foreign countries are required 
to complete this form. The information requested includes the name of 
the Office Director/Regional Administrator or Chairman, as appropriate, 
the traveler's identifying information, purpose of travel, listing of 
the trip coordinators, other NRC travelers and contractors attending 
the same meeting, and a proposed itinerary.
