SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation (NSF), as directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541, 45 CFR 671), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas a requiring special protection. NSF issued a permit (ACA 2017–013) to George Watters on October 21, 2016. The issued permit allows the applicant to conduct waste management associated with ship- and shore-based research and logistic activities conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program. The permit covers the deployment of a variety of oceanographic instruments. On March 30, 2018, a permit modification was issued providing further details about two types of SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 oceanographic instruments that would be deployed during future research cruises. Up to six moorings would be deployed, as described in the original permit, and up to three Slocum gliders would be deployed and retrieved. Now, the permit holder has requested to a further modification to deploy up to seven (7) subsurface moorings of the type previously described.

The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 507 and 509. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: FOIA requesters who have requests that require identification verification or third-party release authorization for FOIA or Privacy Act requests. 7.

The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 1543 information collection requirement or request: 2,082. 10. Abstract: The information collection activity provides communication with FOIA requesters to have the opportunity to be notified about any fees to process their FOIA requests. Providing NRC Form 509 to a requester serves as notification of the processing fees as it relates to search, review, and duplication. Pursuant to NRC’s regulations, 10 CFR 9.40, when fees exceed $25.00 the requester has the opportunity to re-scope their request. Additionally, in response to the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, in accordance with 10 CFR 9.39, the revised form notifies the requester that if the agency fails to comply with statutory time limits, the agency cannot charge the requester any fees (except in unusual circumstances). In the event that fees are required, the requester can verify their willingness to pay on this form and must submit payment within ten working days of the receipt of the form. The revised information collection removes the need for requesters to provide the information they are requesting under FOIA, since it would be duplicative. NRC Form 507 will accompany acknowledgement letters, at which point we are requesting additional information, if necessary, for FOIA requesters to submit proof of identification or third-party release authorizations. III. Specific Requests for Comments The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection accurate? 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? Dated: January 4, 2021.

II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: Part 9 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Public Records.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0043.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 507 and 509.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: FOIA requesters who 
have requests that require identification verification or third-party 
release authorization for FOIA or Privacy Act requests.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 3,803.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 3,803.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 2,082.
    10. Abstract: The information collection activity provides 
communication with FOIA requesters to have the opportunity to be 
notified about any fees to process their FOIA requests. Providing NRC 
Form 509 to a requester serves as notification of the processing fees 
as it relates to search, review, and duplication. Pursuant to NRC's 
regulations, 10 CFR 9.40, when fees exceed $25.00 the requester has the 
opportunity to re-scope their request. Additionally, in response to the 
FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, in accordance with 10 CFR 9.39, the 
revised form notifies the requester that if the agency fails to comply 
with statutory time limits, the agency cannot charge the requester any 
fees (except in unusual circumstances). In the event that fees are 
required, the requester can verify their willingness to pay on this 
form and must submit payment within ten working days of the receipt of 
the form.
    The revised information collection removes the need for requesters 
to provide the information they are requesting under FOIA, since it 
would be duplicative. NRC Form 507 will accompany acknowledgement 
letters, at which point we are requesting additional information, if 
necessary, for FOIA requesters to submit proof of identification or 
third-party release authorizations.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?
