Chapter 35). 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 November 4, 2013 (78 FR 66076). SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1.

Current OMB approval number: 3150–0005. 4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 4. 5. How often the collection is required: On occasion. The NRC does not collect NRC Form 4. However, NRC inspects the NRC Form 4 records at NRC-licensed facilities. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees who are required to comply with Part 20 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 227,846 (223,700 third party disclosure + 4,146 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4,146. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 31,234 (24,523 recordkeeping + 6,711 third party disclosure). 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 occupational radiation doses do not exceed the regulatory limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1501.
