SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: New
    2. The title of the information collection: Request for Taxpayer 
Identification Number.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 531
    4. How often the collection is required: One time from each 
applicant or individual to enable the Department of Treasury to process 
electronic financial payment or collect debts owed to the government.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All individuals doing 
business with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, including contractors 
and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 2,600 (1,600 the first 
year and 500 annually thereafter or 867 annually over a three year 
period).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 867.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 72 (5 minutes per response).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13

    10. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires 
that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from 
individuals who do business with the Government, including contractors 
and recipients of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits. The TIN will 
be used to process all electronic payments (refunds) made to licensees 
by electronic funds transfer by the Department of the Treasury. The 
Department of the Treasury will use the TIN to determine whether the 
refund

can be used to administratively offset any delinquent debts reported to 
the Treasury by other government agencies. In addition, the TIN will be 
used to collect and report to the Department of the Treasury any 
delinquent indebtedness arising out of the licensee's or applicant's 
relationship with the NRC.
