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 4, Cumulative Occupational Exposure History.'' 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 March 28, 2017 (82 FR 15376).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 4, 
``Cumulative Occupational Exposure History.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0005.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 4.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
The NRC does not collect NRC Form 4. However, NRC inspects the NRC Form 
4 records at NRC-licensed facilities.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees who are 
required to comply with part 20 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 227,841 (223,700 third 
party disclosure + 4,141 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,146.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 30,348.
    10. Abstract: The NRC Form 4 is used to record the summary of an 
occupational worker's cumulative occupational radiation dose, including 
prior occupational exposure and the current year's occupational 
radiation exposure. The NRC Form 4 is used by licensees, and inspected 
by the NRC, to ensure that occupational radiation doses do not exceed 
the regulatory limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1501.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of July 2017.
