II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of
information to OMB for review entitled ``Standards for Protection
Against Radiation.'' 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 22, 2021 (86 FR 15273).
1. The title of the information collection: Part 20 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Standards for Protection
Against Radiation.''
2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been
assigned to this proposed information collection.
3. Type of submission: New.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually for
most reports and at license termination for reports dealing with
decommissioning.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees and
Agreement State licensees, including those requesting license
terminations. Types of licensees include civilian commercial,
industrial, academic, and medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses
are issued for, among other things, the possession, use, processing,
handling, and importing and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the
operation of nuclear reactors.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 52,359.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 25,225.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 769,396.
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection
against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under
licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. 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 and to Agreement States 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.
Dated: July 29, 2021.
