9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 75 hours. 

10. Abstract: The Debt Collection 

Improvement Act of 1996 requires that 

agencies collect 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. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

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 on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?

of July 2018.

II. Discussion 

Since 1988, NRC licensees have been 

required to provide decommissioning 

financial assurance. The NRC published 

its ‘‘Decommissioning Planning Rule’’ 

in the Federal Register on June 17, 2011 

(76 FR 35512). The rule became 

effective on December 17, 2012. The 

rule’s purpose is to minimize the 

likelihood of new ‘‘legacy sites,’’ those 

sites owned or controlled by licensees 

with insufficient resources to complete 

decommissioning. Successful 

completion of decommissioning is a 

prerequisite to the NRC terminating the 

license. 

The NRC’s radioactive materials 

licensing regulations, part 30 of Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Rules of General Applicability to 

Domestic Licensing of Byproduct 

Material’’; 10 CFR part 40, ‘‘Domestic 

Licensing of Source Material’’; and 10 

CFR part 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Special Nuclear Material,’’ require NRC 

licensees to provide adequate financial 

assurance for all decommissioning 

activities.1 The NRC staff utilizes 

NUREG–1757, Vol. 3 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML12048A683), as 

guidance to evaluate DFPs submitted by 

10 CFR parts 30, 40 and 70 licensees. 

The NRC’s Regulatory Guide (RG) 4.22, 

‘‘Decommissioning Planning During 

Operations’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML12158A361), provides guidance to 

licensees for use during licensed 

operations to minimize radiological 

contamination, including radiological 

subsurface contamination, and to 

properly retain survey results. For those 

licensees having or likely to have 

significant residual radioactivity, RG 

4.22 provides guidance on arranging for 

sufficient funding to complete 

decommissioning, thereby allowing the 

NRC to terminate the license. 

The purpose of this ISG is to provide 

NRC staff and industry with guidance 

based on developments and lessons 

learned in financial assurance since the 

last update to NUREG–1757, Vol. 3. The 

ISG covers decommissioning cost 

estimates describing current facility 

conditions, evaluating events since the 

last DFP approval, and updates for 

certain financial instruments.
