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, 
``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.'' 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 April 10, 2018 (83 FR 15411).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 20, 
``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0014.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not Applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually for 
most reports and at license termination for reports dealing with 
decommissioning.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees and 
Agreement State licensees, including those requesting license 
terminations. Types of licensees include civilian commercial, 
industrial, academic, and medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses 
are issued for, among other things, the possession, use, processing, 
handling, and importing and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the 
operation of nuclear reactors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 43,530 (11,739 for 
reporting [1,677 NRC licensees and 10,062 Agreement State licensees], 
21,018 for recordkeeping [3,003 NRC licensees and 18,015 Agreement 
State licensees], and 10,773 for third-party disclosures [1,539 NRC 
licensees and 9,234 Agreement State licensees]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 21,018 (3,003 NRC 
licensees and 18,015 Agreement State licensees).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 640,776 
hours (91,545 hours

[[Page 37528]]

for NRC licensees and 549,231 hours for Agreement State licensees).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection 
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under 
licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. These standards 
require the establishment of radiation protection programs, maintenance 
of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records 
recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents 
which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report 
to NRC and to Agreement States of the results of individual monitoring, 
and submittal of license termination information. These mandatory 
requirements are needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals 
from undue risks of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to 
protect the health and safety of the public.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, on July 26, 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
