###### Nuclear Regulatory Commission

          - [Docket No. NRC-2011-0271]

# AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

# ACTION:

Notice of the OMB review of information collection and solicitation of public comment.

# SUMMARY:

                        The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. The NRC published a                         **Federal Register**                         notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on November 28, 2011 (76 FR 72982).                    

                        1.                         *Type of submission, new, revision, or extension:*                         Revision.                    

                        2.                         *The title of the information collection:*10 CFR Part 20, “Standards for Protection Against Radiation.”                    

                        3.                         *Current OMB approval number:*                         3150-0014.                    

                        4.                         *The form number if applicable:*                         N/A.                    

                        5.                         *How often the collection is required:*                         Annually for most reports and at license termination for reports dealing with decommissioning.                    

                        6.                         *Who will be required or asked to report:*                         NRC licensees and Agreement State licensees, including those requesting license terminations. Types of licensees include civilian commercial, industrial, academic, and medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses are issued for, among other things, the possession, use, processing, handling, and importing and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the operation of nuclear reactors.                    

                        7.                         *An estimate of the number of annual responses:*                         43,505 (6,215 from NRC licensees and 37,290 from Agreement State licensees)                    

                        8.                         *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                         21,000 (3,000 NRC licensees and 18,000 Agreement State licensees)                    

                        9.                         *An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request:*                         640,521 (91,503 from NRC licensees and 549,018 from Agreement State licensees)                    

                        10.                         *Abstract:*10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. These standards require the establishment of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report to NRC and to Agreement States of the results of individual monitoring, and submittal of license termination information. These mandatory requirements are needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health and safety of the public.
