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 149, OCFO 
Invitational Traveler Request Form.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0247.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 149.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: The 
collection is required when there is an invitational traveler that will 
be reimbursed by the NRC. This occurs on an as needed basis and does 
not have a regular schedule for submission.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: The invitational 
traveler will be asked to respond and NRC staff that are associated 
with the purpose of the invitational traveler may also be asked to 
respond on an as needed basis.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 415.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 415.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 109.
    10. Abstract: The NRC provides reimbursement for people on 
invitational travel for the NRC. As such, the NRC would reimburse them 
through our Financial Accounting and Integrated Management Information 
System (FAIMIS). Additionally, the travel itself would be processed in 
our electronic travel systems (ETS2). Both the financial and travel 
systems must be set up appropriately for the invitational traveler to 
travel and receive reimbursement from the NRC. The information 
collected on Form 149 meets the requirements for the invitational 
traveler to have a profile created in FAIMIS and in ETS2. The 
information collected is necessary to meet the criteria for both 
systems.
