NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0032]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 9, Public
Records.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0043.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Individuals requesting
access to records under the Freedom of Information (FOIA) or Privacy
Acts (PA), through the Public Document Room (PDR), and submitters of
information containing trade secrets or confidential commercial or
financial information who have been notified that the NRC has made an
initial determination that the information should be disclosed.
5. The number of annual respondents: 3,870.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 1,042.5.
7. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
9, prescribes procedures for individuals making requests for records
under the FOIA or PA, and through the PDR. It contains information
collection requirements for requests to waive or reduce fees for
searching for and reproducing records in response to FOIA requests;
appeals of denied requests; and requests for expedited processing. The
information required from the public is necessary to justify requests
for waivers or reductions in searching or copying fees; or to justify
expedited processing. Section 9.28(b) provides that if the submitter of
information designated to be trade secrets or confidential commercial
or financial information objects to the disclosure, he must provide a
written statement within 30 days that specifies all grounds why the
information is a trade secret or commercial or financial information
that is privileged or confidential.
Submit, by September 6, 2011, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
