## II. Background

                    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of information to OMB for review entitled, NRC Form 446, “Request for Approval of International Foreign Travel by Non-Government Personnel.” 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 August 27, 2020, (85 FR 53023).

                    6.                     *Who will be required or asked to respond:*                     Individuals who are not federal employees or individuals requesting official international travel on behalf of the NRC that is not being requested under the provisions of an active NRC contract.

                    10.                     *Abstract:*                     The information collected on NRC Form 446 is required to justify and receive approval for official international travel by individuals who are not federal employees or who are not traveling under the provisions of an active NRC contract. The information collected is required to coordinate with and obtain approval from the appropriate U.S. Department of State Chief of Mission. Absent the collected information, the official travel may not be approved.
