Voucher (Part 1)'', NRC Form 64A, ``Travel Voucher (Part 2)'', NRC Form 
64B, ``Optional Travel Voucher (Part 2)''.
    2. Current OMB approval number: None.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Contractors, consultants and 
invited NRC travelers who travel in the course of conducting business 
for the NRC.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 100.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 100.
    7. Abstract: As a part of completing the travel process, the 
traveler must file travel reimbursement vouchers and trip reports. The 
respondent universe for the above forms includes consultants and 
contractors and those who are invited by the NRC to travel, e.g., 
prospective employees. Travel expenses that are reimbursed are confined 
to those expenses essential to the transaction of official business for 
an approved trip.

questions:

to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?

    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 be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
