## 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, “NRC Form 354, Data Report on Spouse.” 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 October 20, 2020, 85 FR 66588.

                    9.                     *The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request:*                     12.5.                

                    10.                     *Abstract:*                     NRC Form 354 must be completed by NRC contractors, licensees, applicants who marry or                           ( print page 8658)                        cohabitate after completing the Personnel Security Forms, or after having been granted an NRC access authorization or employment clearance. Form 354 identifies the respondent, the marriage, and data on the spouse and spouse's parents. This information permits the NRC to make initial security determinations and to assure there is no increased risk to the common defense and security.
