The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on April 23, 2019 (84 FR 16889). 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 71, ‘‘Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material. 2. OMB approval number: 3150–0008. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. Application for package certification may be made at any time. Required reports are collected and evaluated on a continuous basis as events occur. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All NRC specific licensees who place byproduct, source, or special nuclear material into transportation, and all persons who wish to apply for NRC approval of package designs for use in such transportation. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 634 responses. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 220 respondents. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 30,589 hours (25,987.6 hours reporting + 4470 hours recordkeeping + 131.3 hours third-party disclosure). 10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 71 establish requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed material, and prescribe procedures, standards, and requirements for approval by NRC of packaging and shipping procedures for fissile material and for quantities of licensed material in excess of Type A quantities. The NRC collects information pertinent to 10 CFR part 71 for three reasons: To issue a package approval; to ensure that any incidents or package degradation or defect are appropriately captured, evaluated and if necessary, corrected to minimize future potential occurrences; and to ensure that all activities are completed using an NRC-approval quality assurance program.

Abstract: This information collection request is an NDA used for domestic and foreign entities to obtain and use the NRC’s nuclear safety analytical computer codes. NRC develops and uses computer codes to independently model and evaluate safety issues associated with the licensed use of radioactive materials. As a global leader in nuclear regulatory research and safety assessment, NRC is frequently approached by domestic and international organizations requesting copies of NRC computer codes. In general, to obtain an NRC code an individual or organization first agrees to not redistribute the code (i.e., nondisclosure) through an NDA. The NDA also imposes terms and conditions for code use, and requires notification to NRC of code errors, code modifications, and updated user information. An officially signed and executed NDA of users agreeing to the terms and conditions is current NRC practice for access to NRC-developed computer codes. Once the NDA has been signed, received, reviewed, and accepted, the requesting individual or organization is given access to the requested code.

Notice for public comment. AGENCY: ACTION: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use of a 2019 survey that differs slightly in process and timing from a previously approved information collection, OSC’s annual survey. The prior OMB approval for the annual survey expired November 30, 2016. As required by statute, since 1994 OSC has conducted an annual survey collecting feedback from those who have filed complaints/disclosures with OSC. The prior surveys required 12 minutes to complete. The proposed OSC 2019 survey consists of a single electronic questionnaire with eleven questions that requires 5.5 minutes to complete. The prior annual surveys could only be sent after OSC closed the individual’s complaint or disclosure file. The timing therefore deprived OSC of useful feedback about how individuals perceive OSC as they are in the process of working or engaging with OSC. Congress authorized this 2019 survey (and suspended the previously approved annual survey), so OSC could collect feedback from individuals who file complaints or disclosures with OSC while their cases or queries are open. See the OSC Reauthorization Act of 2017, Public Law 115, Sec. 1097. OSC is requesting emergency approval for the proposed 2019 survey, which by statute must be completed by the end of FY2019. DATES: Written comments should be received on or before August 29, 2019. However, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, OSC is requesting OMB’s emergency SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM 30JYN1

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, ``Collection of Research Code 
Non-Disclosure Agreement 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 April 16, 2019, 84 FR 15640.
    1. The title of the information collection: Collection of Research 
Code Non-Disclosure Agreement Information.
    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: As needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Domestic and foreign 
users of NRC's nuclear safety analytical computer codes.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 640.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 640.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 640 
hours.
    10. Abstract: This information collection request is an NDA used 
for domestic and foreign entities to obtain and use the NRC's nuclear 
safety analytical computer codes. NRC develops and uses computer codes 
to independently model and evaluate safety issues associated with the 
licensed use of radioactive materials. As a global leader in nuclear

for code use, and requires notification to NRC of code errors, code 
modifications, and updated user information. An officially signed and 
executed NDA of users agreeing to the terms and conditions is current 
NRC practice for access to NRC-developed computer codes. Once the NDA 
has been signed, received, reviewed, and accepted, the requesting 
individual or organization is given access to the requested code. The 
information collection enables the NRC to ensure that proper procedures 
and agreements are in place to guide the distribution and use of these 
codes according to NRC and U.S. Government policies and international 
agreements such as import-export restrictions and intellectual property 
rights. Further information collection on code errors and modifications 
by code users permits NRC to maintain control and quality of its codes 
in a timely and efficient manner.
