II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 531, ``Request
for Taxpayer Identification Number.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0188.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 531.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Licensees are
only required to submit once.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC Form 531 is used
to collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) and information
sufficient to identify the licensee or applicant for licenses,
certificates, approvals, and registrations.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 300.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 300.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 75.
10. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires
that agencies collect TINs from individuals who do business with the
Government, including contractors and recipients of credit, licenses,
permits, and benefits. The TIN will be used to process all electronic
payments (refunds) made to licensees by electronic funds transfer by
the Department of the Treasury. The Department of the Treasury will use
the TIN to determine whether the refund can be used to administratively
offset any delinquent debts reported to the Treasury by other
Government agencies. In addition, the TIN will be used to collect and
report to the Department of the Treasury any delinquent indebtedness
arising out of the
[[Page 56299]]
licensee's or applicant's relationship with the NRC.

to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
