# 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. The NRC published a                         **Federal Register**                         Notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on March 25, 2008.

                        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, including those requesting license terminations.

                        8.                         *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                         3740.

                        10.                         *Abstract:*10 CFR Part 20 establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the NRC. 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 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.
