Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This final rule amends information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq).
These requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget approval number 3150-0169.
The information collection requirements were submitted to OMB at the proposed rule stage.
At that time, OMB denied approval.
l OMB believed that rather than promulgating an NRC regulation, NRC should forward those provisions appropriate for inclusion in the i
FAR to the FAR Councils for consideration in accordance with FAR i
1.304(c).
OMB further requested that publication of provisions relating to Conflict of Interest Policies Applicable to Consultants await implementation in the FAR.
It is the NRC's position that because we are required by law to have separate procurement regulations implementing the FAR and these provisions only apply to the special circumstances of the NRC, the provisions of the NRCAR are not appropriate for inclusion in the FAR for government wide usage.
In addition, in accordance with Sec.
8, Pub.
L.95-601, adding Sec. 170A to Pub.
L.83-703, 68 Stat. 919, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2210a), NRC's organizational conflicts of interest provision takes precedence over the FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest.
However, where non-conflicting guidance appears in FAR 9. 5, the NRC shall follow that guidance.
With these considerations, NRC therefore requested OMB approval of the information collection requirements at the final rule stage.
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
- sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Inf ormation and Records Management Branch (MNBB-7714), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-3019, (3150-0169), Of fice of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20593.
