SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is to seek clearance for the collection of routine 
information requested of individuals (including but not limited to 
federal employees, visitors, contractors, associates) who work with or 
around sources of ionizing radiation on the NIST campus.
    The information is collected for the following purposes:
    (1) NIST is required by 10 CFR 20.1502 to monitor individuals who 
may be exposed to ionizing radiation above specific levels. This form 
will be used to collect information associated with this monitoring and 
to determine the type of monitoring required.
    (2) NIST is required by 10 CFR 20.2106 to maintain records of 
radiation exposure monitoring. This form will be used to ensure the 
exposure information collected is properly associated with the 
individual using unique identifiers. In addition, NIST must provide 
reports to the monitored individuals when requested and to the NRC 
annually. This form will be used to ensure the correct information is 
provided to the individual.

II. Method of Collection

    The information will be collected in paper format and 
electronically as a pdf form.
