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, ``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not [[Page 19704]] 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 December 2, 2014, (79 FR 71450). 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 20, ``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.'' 2. OMB approval number: 3150-0014. 3. Type of submission: Revision. 4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually for most reports and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees and Agreement State licensees, including those requesting license terminations. Types of licensees include civilian commercial, industrial, academic, and medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses are issued for, among other things, the possession, use, processing, handling, and importing and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the operation of nuclear reactors. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 43,530 (11,739 for reporting [1,677 NRC licensees and 10,062 Agreement State licensees], 21,018 for recordkeeping [3,003 NRC licensees and 18,015 Agreement State Licensees], and 10,773 for third-party disclosures [1,539 NRC licensees and 9,234 Agreement State licensees]). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 21,018 (3,003 NRC licensees and 18,015 Agreement State licensees). 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 640,776 hours (91,545 hours for NRC licensees and 549,231 hours for Agreement State licensees). 10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. These standards require the establishment of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report to NRC and to Agreement States of the results of individual monitoring, and submittal of license termination information. These mandatory requirements are needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health and safety of the public. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of April, 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Tremaine Donnell, NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
