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 
Form 629, ``Authorization for Payment by Credit Card.'' 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 March 1, 2023 (88 FR 12996).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 629, 
Authorization for Payment by Credit Card.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0190.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 629.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 300.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 300.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 50.
    10. Abstract: The NRC bills licensees, applicants, and individuals 
for the payment of civil penalties, full cost licensing fees, 
inspection fees, and other fees. The five methods used to pay bills 
owed to the NRC are: (1) Payment by Automated Clearinghouse Network 
(ACH); (2) Payment by Credit Card; (3) Payment by Electronic Funds 
Transfer/FedWire; (4) Payment by Check, and (5) Payment by Digital 
Wallet. NUREG/BR-0254, ``Payment Methods'' provides instructions on how 
to transfer monies owed to the NRC; no information is collected by the 
NRC in using this brochure. NRC Form 629, ``Authorization for Payment 
by Credit Card'' is an optional form used to authorize payment by 
credit card.
