II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of 
information to OMB for review entitled ``NRC Insider Threat Program for 
Licensees and Others Requiring Access to Classified Information.'' 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 September 22, 2021 (86 FR 
52697).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Insider Threat 
Program for Licensees and Others Requiring Access to Classified 
Information.''
    2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been 
assigned to this proposed information collection.
    3. Type of submission: New.
    4. The form number, if applicable: There are no forms required 
under the Insider Threat Program.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually or 
as events occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All licensees or 
stakeholders who have been granted access to classified information 
under part 95 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations ``Facility 
Security Clearance and Safeguarding of National Security Information 
and Restricted Data.''
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 99 (71 Reporting + 28 
Recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 28.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 3,828 (2,630 Reporting 
hrs. + 1,198 Recordkeeping hrs.).
    10. Abstract: The NRC-regulated facilities and their contractors 
who are authorized to access and possess classified matter are required 
to provide information and maintain records to demonstrate they have 
established and are maintaining an Insider Threat Program to identify 
and protect classified information against a potential insider threat.
