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
Insider Threat Program for Licensees and Other Requiring Access to
Classified Information.'' 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 June 9, 2025, 90 FR 24303.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Insider Threat
Program for Licensees and Other Requiring Access to Classified
Information.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0251.
3. Type of submission: Reinstatement.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually or
as events occur.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All licensees or
stakeholders
[[Page 4121]]
who have been granted access to classified information under part 95 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations ``Facility Security
Clearance and Safeguarding of National Security Information and
Restricted Data.''
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 72.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 19.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 3,189.5 hours (2,272.5
reporting + 917 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 demonstrate they have
established and are maintaining an Insider Threat Program to identify
and protect classified information against a potential insider threat.
Dated: January 28, 2026.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Kristen Benney,
NRC's Acting Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information
