``Security Acknowledgment and Termination Statement.'' 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.

period on this information collection on April 8, 2019 (84 FR 13976).

and Termination Statement.
    2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been 
assigned to this proposed information collection.

    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC Employees, 
Licensees and contractors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 400.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 400.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 80.
    10. Abstract: The NRC Form 176, ``Security Acknowledgment and 
Termination Statement'' is completed by employees, licensees and 
contractors in connection with the termination of their access 
authorization/security clearance granted by the NRC and to 
acknowledgment and accept their continuing security responsibility.
