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 531, ``Request for Taxpayer Identification Number.'' 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 8, 2021, (86 FR 
56298).
    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 licensee's or applicant's relationship with the NRC.
