Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: Security Termination 
Statement; Request for Access Authorization; Request for Visit or 
Access Approval.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 136; NRC Form 237; NRC 
Form 277.
    4. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC Form 136, licensee 
and contractor employees, who have been granted an NRC access 
authorization; NRC Form 237, any employee of approximately 20 licensees 
and 2 contractors who will require an NRC access authorization; NRC 
Form 277, any employee of two current NRC contractors who (1) holds an 
NRC access authorization, and (2) needs to make a visit to NRC, other 
contractors/licensees or government agencies in which access to 
classified information will be involved or unescorted area access is

applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: The NRC Form 136 affects the employees of licensees 
and contractors who have been granted an NRC access authorization. When 
access authorization is no longer needed, the completion of the form 
apprises the respondent of their continuing security responsibilities. 
The NRC Form 237 is completed by licensees, NRC contractors or 
individuals who require an NRC access authorization. The NRC Form 277 
affects the employees of contractors who have been granted an NRC 
access authorization and require verification of that access 
authorization and need-to-know in conjunction with a visit to NRC or 
another facility.
