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 
consolidation and renewal of an existing collection of information to 
OMB for review entitled, NRC Form 850, ``Request for Contractor 
Assignment(s).'' 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 October 10, 2019 (84 FR 
54649).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 850, ``Request 
for Contractor Assignment(s).''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0218.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.

    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC contractors, 
subcontractors and other individuals who are not NRC employees.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 500.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 500.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 85.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 10, ``Criteria and Procedures for 
Determining Eligibility for Access to Restricted Data or National 
Security Information or an Employment Clearance,'' establishes 
requirements that individuals requiring an access authorization and/or 
employment clearance must have an investigation of their background. 
NRC Form 850 will be used by the NRC to obtain information on NRC 
contractors, subcontractors, and other individuals who are not NRC 
employees and require access to NRC buildings, IT systems, sensitive 
information, sensitive unclassified information, or classified 
information.
