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 July 22, 2015, (80 FR 43477).
    1. The title of the information collection: 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. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 75 
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

[[Page 79107]]

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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of December, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
