II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘US NRC 

Acquisition Regulation.’’ 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 

March 9, 2021 (86 FR 13589). 

1. The title of the information 

collection: ‘‘US NRC Acquisition 

Regulation.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0169. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Monthly, once (at time of 

award), and on occasion (when changes 

occur). 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Contractors and bidders. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 6,258 (6,112 reporting 

responses + 146 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 535. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 17,412 (14,834 reporting + 

2,578 recordkeeping). 

10. Abstract: The mandatory 

requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission Acquisition Regulation 

(NRCAR) implement and supplement 

the government-wide Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 121 / Monday, June 28, 2021 / Notices 34059 

ensure that the regulations governing 

the procurement of goods and services 

with the NRC satisfy the needs of the 

agency. This includes reports and 

recordkeeping requirements for certain 

contractors or offerors to submit a 

monthly progress report that 

summarizes work performed during the 

previous month, and/or retain records of 

equipment, payroll, inspection and 

quality control records, as applicable. 

Because of differing statutory authorities 

among Federal agencies, the FAR 

permits agencies to issue a regulation to 

implement FAR policies and procedures 

internally to satisfy the specific need of 

the agency. The NRCAR includes 

policies, procedures, solicitation 

provisions and contract clauses needed 

to ensure effective and efficient 

evaluation, negotiation, and 

administration of agency acquisitions. 

Certain reports, such as reports of 

contractor organizational conflicts of 

interest or changes in key personnel are 

collected from contractors on as needed 

basis as changes occur, whether at the 

time of award or throughout the life of 

the contract. Some reports are required 

to be submitted monthly such as the 

Financial Status report and Technical 

Progress Report. There are also some 

reports that bidders are required to 

submit upon request, such as responses 

to pre-award questions that demonstrate 

their ability to meet minimum standards 

set forth in FAR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments 

for this collection. The information 

collection (OMB No. 3206–0033) was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on September 21, 2020 at 85 FR 

59334, allowing for a 60-day public 

comment period. No comments were 

received. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

RI 25–7 is used to determine whether 

widows, widowers, and former spouses 

receiving survivor annuities from OPM 

have remarried before reaching age 55 

and, thus, are no longer eligible for 

benefits.
