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,
``Facility Security Clearance and Safeguarding of National Security
Information and Restricted Data.'' 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 August 23, 2021, 86 FR 47165.
1. The title of the information collection: Part 95 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, ``Facility Security Clearance and
Safeguarding of National Security Information and Restricted Data.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0047.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 405F.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: When new
facility clearance requests are received, existing facility clearances
are terminated, when respondents make changes reportable under the
rule, including a mandatory submission every 5 years.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC-regulated
facilities and their contractors who require access to, and possession
of NRC classified information.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 172 (144 reporting +
28 Recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 28.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 664 (490 Reporting + 174
Recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: The NRC-regulated facilities and their contractors
who are authorized to access and possess classified matter are required
to provide information and maintain records to ensure an adequate level
of protection is provided to NRC classified information and material.
Dated: November 4, 2021.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
