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: 48 CFR 20 U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR).
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0169.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion, 
one time.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC contractors and 
potential contractors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 5,613.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,985.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 37,337 (34,393 reporting 
+ 2,944 recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: The mandatory requirements of the NRCAR implement and 
supplement the government-wide Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 
and ensure that the regulations governing the procurement of goods and 
services with the NRC satisfy the particular needs of the agency. 
Because of differing statutory authorities among Federal agencies, the 
FAR permits agencies to issue a regulation to implement FAR policies 
and procedures internally to satisfy the specific need of the agency.

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?
