II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, part 
19 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Notices, 
Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations.'' 
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 November 4, 2020 (85 FR 
70202).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 19, 
``Notices, Instructions and Reports to Workers: Inspection and 
Investigations.''

    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As necessary 
in order that adequate and timely reports of radiation exposure be made 
to individuals in applicable NRC-licensed activities.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees authorized 
to receive, possess, use, or transfer material licensed by the NRC.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,899,235.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 19,500.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 579,661.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 19 establishes requirements for notices, 
instructions, and reports by licensees and regulated entities to 
individuals participating in NRC-licensed and regulated activities and 
options available to these individuals in connection with Commission 
inspections of licensees and regulated entities, and to ascertain 
compliance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, Titles II and IV of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and 
regulations, orders, and licenses thereunder. The regulations in this 
part also establish the rights and responsibilities of the Commission 
and individuals during interviews compelled by subpoena as part of the 
agency's inspections or investigations under Section 161c of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, on any
