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, 10 
CFR part 9, ``Public Records.'' 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

[[Page 58224]]

period on this information collection on September 22, 2017, 82 FR 
44470.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 9, ``Public 
Records.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0043.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 509; NRC Form 507.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: FOIA Requesters who 
have requests that require pre-payment or agree to pay for the 
processing of their FOIA requests.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 2,490.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2,490.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 1,111.
    10. Abstract: The proposed information collection activity provides 
communication with FOIA requesters to have the opportunity to be 
notified about any fees to process their FOIA requests. Providing NRC 
Form 509 to a requester serves as notification of the processing fees 
as it relates to search, review, and duplication. Pursuant to NRC's 
regulations, 10 CFR 9.40, when fees exceed $ 25.00 the requester has 
the opportunity to re-scope their request. Additionally, in response to 
the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, in accordance with 10 CFR 9.39, the 
revised form notifies the requester that if the agency fails to comply 
with statutory time limits, the agency cannot charge the requester any 
fees (except in unusual circumstances). In the event that fees are 
required, the requester can verify their willingness to pay on this 
form, and must submit payment within ten working days of the receipt of 
the form. In addition, the NRC created Form 507 which allows the public 
to electronically submit FOIA requests from the FOIA Web site. Unlike 
the previous online FOIA request submission form, requesters can 
provide identification verification at the time the request is made, 
which shortens the processing time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of December 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
