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, ``NRC 
Form 354, Data Report on Spouse.'' 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 20, 2020, 85 FR 66588.

Report on Spouse.

    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 354.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC contractors, 
licensees, applicants, and others (e.g., intervener's who marry or 
cohabitate after completing the Personnel Security Forms, or after 
having been granted an NRC access authorization or employment 
clearance.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 50.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 50.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 12.5.

cohabitate after completing the Personnel Security Forms, or after 
having been granted an NRC access authorization or employment 
clearance. Form 354 identifies the respondent, the marriage, and data 
on the spouse and spouse's parents. This information permits the NRC to 
make initial security determinations and to assure there is no 
increased risk to the common defense and security.
