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: NRC CUI Program 
Challenge Request Process.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0246.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Authorized holders, 
including any individual or organization who has been provided with 
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and has a lawful government 
purpose to possess CUI.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 12.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 12.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 18.
    10. Abstract: The NRC CUI Program Challenge Request Process, also 
referred to as the ``CUI Challenge Request Process'' in this document, 
provides the process used for NRC CUI authorized holders to challenge 
the designation of information that has been marked as CUI as 
improperly or incorrectly designated as ``Authorized holder,'' includes 
any individual or organization who has been provided with CUI and has a 
lawful government purpose to possess the information. Any authorized 
holder who believes that the designation of specific information as CUI 
is improper or incorrect, or who believes they have received unmarked 
CUI, may use this process to formally notify the NRC CUI Senior Agency 
Official (SAO). The process also allows for the NRC CUI SAO and CUI 
Program Manager to process such requests and to issue a Final Decision 
from the CUI SAO. The CUI Challenge Request Process is not intended to 
be used to address all disagreements regarding the proper designation 
of CUI. Authorized holders are encouraged to seek or utilize less 
formal means when resolving internal good faith disputes over the 
proper designation of information as CUI, such as discussion with the 
creator or designator of the information in dispute. Where resolution 
cannot be achieved through less formal means, the CUI Challenge Request 
Process is available. The CUI Challenge Request Process does not 
supersede any obligations under law or NRC policy to report information 
spills.

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? Please explain your answer.
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate? Please explain your answer.
    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?
