3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

iReport and Fillable PDF Forms for each 

item in No. 2 above. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

Primary: Individuals. 

Individuals who are contractors for 

the Department of Justice or who are 

processed for access to classified 

information by the Department of 

Justice. 

Abstract: Self-reporting requirements 

set forth in the Department of Justice 

(DOJ) Policy Statement 1700.04, 

Department Personnel Security 

Reporting Requirements, issued April 

18, 2018, apply to non-federal employee 

personnel affiliated with the DOJ. The 

policy contains reporting requirements 

that are applicable to the entire DOJ 

workforce as well as reporting 

requirements that apply only to 

personnel occupying a national security 

position or who have access to classified 

information. The requirements relating 

to national security are mandated by the 

Director of National Intelligence as the 

Security Executive Agent. The majority 

of the reports relate to the submitter’s 

personal conduct and activities. There is 

one form for personnel to submit 

information on other personnel, 

consistent with government-wide 

reporting requirements. This collection 

request seeks approval for contractors 

and other non-federal employees who 

are processed for access to classified 

information to utilize the Department’s 

automated reporting system called 

iReport, or, for the small population 

with no access to the IT system, to 

utilize PDF fillable forms to report the 

required information. The Security and 

Emergency Planning Staff, and other 

Department Security Offices, will use 

the reported information to determine 

the submitter’s continued fitness for 

employment at the Department of 

Justice or continued eligibility for access 

to national security information. The 

Department security offices for each 

agency component will review, 

evaluate, and adjudicate the information 

received. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 

a. Department-wide population 

covered by the requirement to selfreport information in the forms listed in 

Sections 2a and 2b is estimated at 

35,000. It is estimated that only three 

percent (1,050) will actually need to 

self-report. 

b. Department-wide population 

covered by the requirement to report 

information in the forms listed in 

Sections 2c through 2l is estimated to 

less than 500. 

c. Amount of time estimated for an 

average reported is less than ten 

minutes. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 260 annual burden hours.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

Tribal Protocol Manual 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: NUREG; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing NUREG–

Facilitates effective consultations and 

interactions between the NRC and 

Native American Tribes related to 

activities within the scope of the NRC’s 

jurisdiction; explains that Tribes are 

unique governmental entities and are 

not extensions of State or local 

governments; assists NRC management 

and staff in recognizing these 

distinctions and creates a more open 

and productive working relationship 

with Native American Tribal 

governments; and supplements the NRC 

staff’s working knowledge by providing 

Tribal outreach, experience, and 

practical guidance to NRC personnel 

who have had limited interactions with 

Native American Tribes. 

DATES: This NUREG is effective on 

August 24, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

On October 12, 2012, the NRC 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register requesting comment on both 

the draft ‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual’’ and 

the proposed ‘‘Tribal Policy Statement’’ 

(77 FR 62269). The NRC received six 

comment letters on the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement’’ and the ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual.’’ The commenters included two 

Tribal governments, two mining 

associations, one inter-Tribal 

organization, and a Tribal college. The 

comments were grouped into seven 

topical areas: (1) NRC Tribal 

communication; (2) NRC Tribal 

consultation; (3) NRC Tribal resources; 

(4) terminology; (5) NRC map of Tribal 

reservations near nuclear reactors; (6) 

Federal-Tribal history; and (7) 

contemporary Tribal conditions. The 

NRC’s responses to these comments are 

available in ‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual: 

Guidance for NRC Staff—Comment 

Responses,’’ which is cited below. 

On January 9, 2017 (82 FR 2402), the 

NRC issued its ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement.’’ The ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual’’ has been revised to be 

consistent with the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement’’ and to reflect changes made 

in response to public comments. 

In response to public comments and 

the NRC’s work on the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement,’’ the agency is revising the 

definition of ‘‘consultation.’’ In the 

‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual’’ (p. 16), 

‘‘consultation’’ is now defined as 

‘‘meaningful and timely discussion with 

Tribal governments on NRC regulatory 

actions that have substantial direct 

effects on one or more Indian Tribes and 

those regulatory actions for which 

Tribal consultation is required under 

Federal statute. The NRC’s Tribal 

consultation allows Indian Tribes the 

opportunity to provide input on 

regulatory actions with Tribal 

implications and those where Tribal 

consultation is required, and is different 

from the outreach and public comment 

periods.’’ 

The NRC revised the ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual’’ to better address the unique 

relationship between the United States 

Government and Tribes and how the 

NRC exercises its trust responsibility. 

The NRC also made changes to the 

historical account of the Federal-Tribal 

relationship; specifically, the ‘‘Tribal 

Protocol Manual’’ now includes a 

general discussion that addresses the 

contributions of Treaties, policy, law, 

court decisions, and Executive Orders to 

Federal Indian law.
