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, however, a continuous monthly request is 
sent until the licensee submits the Taxpayer Identification Number.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC Form 531 is used 
to collect TINs and information sufficient to identify the licensee or 
applicant for licenses, certificates, approvals and registrations.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 300 responses.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 300 respondents.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 25 hours.
    10. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires 
that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers (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.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for 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?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of July 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
