ADAMS. Comment submissions are not 

routinely edited to remove identifying 

or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating 

comments from other persons for 

submission to the NRC, then you should 

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly

Your request should state that comment 

submissions are not routinely edited to

the comment submissions available to 

the public or entering the comment into 

ADAMS. 

II. Background 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting 

public comment on its intention to 

request the OMB’s approval for the 

information collection summarized 

below. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: 10 CFR part 9, ‘‘Public 

Records.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0043. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

NRC Form 509; NRC Form 507. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: On occasion. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: FOIA requesters who have 

requests that require pre-payment or 

agree to pay for the processing of their 

FOIA requests. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 2,490. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 2,490. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 1,111. 

10. Abstract: The proposed 

information collection activity provides 

communication with FOIA requesters to 

have the opportunity to be notified 

about any fees to process their FOIA 

requests. Providing NRC Form 509 to a 

requester serves as notification of the 

processing fees as it relates to search, 

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices 44471 

review, and duplication. Pursuant to 

NRC’s regulations, 10 CFR part 9.40, 

when fees exceed $25.00 the requester 

has the opportunity to re-scope their 

request. Additionally, in response to the 

FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, in 

accordance with 10 CFR part 9.39, the 

revised form notifies the requester that 

if the agency fails to comply with 

statutory time limits, the agency cannot 

charge the requester any fees (except in 

unusual circumstances). In the event 

that fees are required, the requester can 

verify their willingness to pay on this 

form, and must submit payment within 

ten working days of the receipt of the 

form. In addition, the NRC created Form 

507 which allows the public to 

electronically submit FOIA requests 

from the FOIA Web site. Unlike the 

previous online FOIA request 

submission form, requesters can provide 

identification verification at the time the 

request is made, which shortens the 

processing time. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology? 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day 

of September, 2017.

Comment Request for Review of a 

Revised Information Collection: 

Organizational Assessment Surveys 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and Request for 

Comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) intends to submit to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review of a 

currently approved collection, 

Organizational Assessment Surveys. 

OPM is requesting approval of 

Organizational Assessment Surveys, 

Federal Employee Viewpoint Surveys, 

Exit Surveys, New Leaders Onboarding 

Assessments, New Employee Surveys, 

Training Needs Assessment Surveys, 

and custom Program Evaluation surveys 

as a part of this collection. Approval of 

the Organizational Assessment Surveys 

is necessary to collect information on 

Federal agency and program 

performance, climate, engagement, and 

leadership effectiveness. 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until November 21, 

2017. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

Human Resources Strategy and 

Evaluation Solutions, Office of 

Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: 

Coty Hoover, or via email to 

Organizational_Assessment@opm.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A 

copy of this ICR, with applicable 

supporting documentation, may be 

obtained by contacting Human 

Resources Strategy and Evaluation 

Solutions, Office of Personnel 

Management, 1900 E Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Coty 

Hoover, or via email to Organizational_

Assessment@opm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35) as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is 

soliciting comments for this collection. 

The previous collection (OMB No. 

3206–0252, published in the Federal 

Register on December 26, 2013 at 78 FR 

248) has an emergency clearance 

(published in the Federal Register on 

May 5, 2017 at 82 FR 21273) that 

expires January 31, 2018. Comments are 

particularly invited on: 

1. Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

2. Whether our estimate of the public 

burden of this collection is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; and 

3. Ways in which we can minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of the 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

OPM’s Human Resources Strategy and 

Evaluation Solutions performs 

assessment and related consultation 

activities for Federal agencies on a 

reimbursable basis. The assessments are 

authorized by various statutes and 

regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5, 

U.S.C.; E.O. 12862; E.O. 13715; Section 

1128 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004, 

Public Law 108–136; 5 U.S.C. 1101 note, 

1103(a)(5), 1104, 1302, 3301, 3302, 

4702, 7701 note; E.O. 13197, 66 FR 

7853, 3 CFR 748 (2002); E.O. 10577, 12 

FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954–1958 Comp., p. 

218; and Section 4703 of Title 5, United 

States Code. 

This collection request includes 

surveys we currently use and plan to 

use during the next three years to 

measure agency performance, climate, 

engagement, and leadership 

effectiveness. OMB No. 3206–0252 

covers a broad range of surveys all 

focused on improving organizational 

performance. Non-Federal respondents 

will almost never receive more than one 

of these surveys. All of these surveys 

consist of Likert-type, mark-one, and 

mark-all-that-apply items, and may 

include a small number of open-ended 

comment items. Administration of 

Organizational Assessment Surveys 

(OAS) typically consists of a customized 

set of 50–150 standard items pulled 

from an item bank of nearly 500 items. 

The surveys almost always include a 

small set of 5–10 custom items 

developed to meet the agency’s specific 

needs. The OAS is a general survey that 

subsumes the Federal Employee 

Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). OPM’s 

Human Resources Strategy and 

Evaluation Solutions administers the 

FEVS for agencies to gather feedback 

from employee groups not covered by 

the official FEVS administration. Exit 

Surveys consist of approximately 60 

items that assess reasons why 

employees decided to leave their 

organization. Customization is possible. 

The New Leaders Onboarding 

Assessment (NLOA) is a combined 

assessment consisting of approximately 

130 items, including items measuring 

organizational climate, employee 

engagement, and leadership. New 

Employee Surveys consist of 

approximately 100 items that assess 

satisfaction with the hiring, orientation, 

and socialization of new employees. 

Training Needs Assessment Surveys 

consist of approximately 100 items that 

assess an agency’s climate for training 

and employees’ training preferences. 

Program Evaluation surveys evaluate the 

effectiveness of government initiatives, 

programs, and offices. Program
