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, “NRC Form 4, Cumulative Occupational Exposure History.” 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 April 15, 2020, 85 FR 21030. 1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 4, “Cumulative Occupational Exposure History.” 2. OMB approval number: 3150-0005. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 4. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. The NRC does not collect NRC Form 4. However, NRC inspects the NRC Form 4 records at NRC-licensed facilities. In addition, NRC licensees must provide the NRC Form 4 to workers annually and each time a monitored transient worker changes employment sites. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees who are required to comply with part 20 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 241,014 (1,880 reporting responses + 234,988 third party disclosure responses + 4,146 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,146. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 65,954 (157 reporting + 7,050 third-party disclosure + 58,747 recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: The NRC Form 4 is used to record the summary of an occupational worker's cumulative occupational radiation dose, including prior occupational exposure and the current year's occupational radiation exposure. The NRC Form 4 is used by licensees, and inspected by the NRC, to ensure that the occupational radiation doses do not exceed the regulatory limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1501. Dated: July 22, 2020.
