OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR PART 25 Access Authorization for Licensee Personnel Description of the Infomation Collection The reporting requirements of 10 CFR Part 25 affect approximately 12 licensees and other organizations (5 fuel cycle facilities, 3 transportation companies, I power reactor and 3 other organizations). The licensees or other organiza-tions make the reports available at their place of business or send the reports to NRC at its Headquarters or Regional Offices. Reports or applications are only required as occasioned by the occurrence of specific events such as the request for an access authorization, a termination, cancellation or reinstate-ment, or by a request for exemption from the Part. Other requirements for recordkeeping are necessary for checking the licensees' and other organizations' procedures for maintaining an acceptable personnel security and visitor control program.
Information submitted in connection with applications for access authorizations includes personal data which is handled and protected in accordance with NRC directives and the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974.
Other information submitted to NRC in response to the application, recordkeeping and reporting requirements is available for public inspection in accordance with 10 CFR Part 9.
A.
JUSTIFICATION 1.
Need for Collection of Information.
10 CFR Part 25 contains numerous reporting, recordkeeping and application requirements, including requirements for submittal of personnel security access authorization requests, security recordkeeping requirements and security reporting and notification procedures relative to access authorizations.
In all cases, the requirements are necessary to help ensure that granting individuals, covered by this Part, access to classified information will not en-danger the U. S. common defense and national security.
Essentially, all of the reporting, recordkeeping and application requirements are necessary for one or more of the reasons listed below, To obtain the essential data from individuals necessary to a.
determine their eligibility for an NRC access authorization for access to classified information. These information require-ments are derived from pertinent statutes and Executive Orders which authorize background investigations on an individual's character, associations and loyalty.
b.
To obtain essential data describing normal operating procedures pertinent to personnel security and visitor control activities to ensure that regulatory requirements are being met by licensees and other organizations.
c.
To obtain essential data which serves as the basis for deter-mining continued eligibility of an individual for an NRC access authorization when occurrences or developments arise which may affect the initial determination.
The currently effective information collection requirements of 10 CFR Part 25 are identified and explained below:
25.11 Exemption Requests. The information and justification required by this section are used to determine whether an exemption can be granted. The submittal is necessary from any licensee which possesses nonself-protecting formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material (SSNM) seeking exemption from the requirements of Part 25.
25.17(b) NRC Access Authorization-Request Form.
(NRC Form 237 cleared under 3150-0050). The information and signature required by this section are used to verify the identity of the employee for whom access authorization is requested and ensures (through the signature of a licensee, licensee contractor or other organization official) that the licensee or other organization endorses the request.
25.17(c) Personnel Security (Access Authorization) Packet. The infomation required by this section provides the pertinent data necessary to conduct an initial or updating investigation used to detemine the respondent's trustworthiness and his/her eligibility for access to National Security Information or Restricted Data. The information submitted on NRC Form 1 Parts I and II (cleared under 3150-0048) is reviewed by SEC staff and forwarded to the appropriate investigating agency.
In those cases where the respondent already has a security clearance granted by another Federal agency, alterna-tive sources (other agency records) may be used to obtain this information.
25.21(b) Reporting Personnel Security Data. The reports and information required by this section ensure that personnel security records are kept up-to-date and that any developments or circumstances which may have an impact on an individual's continued access authori-zation eligibility are properly and accurately evaluated. This eval-uation enables NRC to carry out the regulatory intent to safeguard NRC classified information. " Data Report on Spouse," NRC Form 354, is cleared under 3150-0026, 25.23 Notification of Access Authorization Approval. The maintenance of access authorization grant letters permits review and confirmation during prescribed NRC surveys that only properly authorized employees have had access to classified information. This recordkeeping requirement ensures these records are available for review by NRC inspectors and that they can be compared against records held by the NRC Division of Security. The records under this section must be j
kept for one year following the access authorization termination date.

"25 25 Access Authorizat$on Cancellations. The information required by this section is necessary each time a licensee or other organiza-tion wishes to withdraw or cancel an access authorization they have requested. The information is used by NRC to terminate its processing of the individual and to notify the investigating agency s
that the investigation may also.be cancelled. This action saves the U. S. Government specific procesing costs and curtails unnecessary s
investigations and invasions of privacy.
25.27(a) & (b) Reopening Cancelled Reinests. These sections identify the personnel security infonnation which is necessary from licensees and other organizations in order to reopen a cancelled request. The information is used by NRC to complete the access authorization processing. The'se procedures are required in order for NRC to determine the respondent's trustworthiness and his/her eligibility for an access authorization.
25.29 Access Authorization Reinstatement. The purpose of this requirement is to: provide that information which may be necessary (depending upon when the access authorization was terminated)-to reinstate or reactivate the access authorization.
25.31(a) & (b) F tension or Transfer of:the Individual's Access Authorization. The procedures and requirements provide the necessary information to properly identify and process an individual for an extension or transfer of their access authorization.
25.33(b) & (c) Reporting Access Authorization Terminations. These procedures are required in order to ensure that an individual's access authorization is properly terminated whenever his/her need for access has expired or the individual has teen found ineligible for a continuing access authorization.
25.35 Classified Visits. These procedures and the use of NRC Form 277 (cleared under 3150-0051) ensure that only properly authorized individuals who require access to classified matter as a part of their official duties will have such access during visits to other facilities and agencies. The recordkeeping requirement for this section permits the review and inspection of documents related to classified visits. This review, completed during periodic surveys, will insure that only properly cleared individuals have been granted access to classified information during visits in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
Except as noted for 25.17 (c), there is no duplicaticn with any other Federal agency reporting requirements for all of the above.
For each of the reporting requirements, except for the carbon set (supplied by i
NRC) Form 1, Ports I and II,'the respondent is not required to submit more than three copies of any response.
~
2.
Agency Use of Information.' Personal history information which is submitted on applicants for access authorizations is reviewed, eval-uated.by Division of Set.urity personnel and provided to OPM which conducts background investigations. The NRC reviews the data from OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT
- 10 CFR PART 25
.. (
these investigations and makes determinations regarding the eligibility of applicants for access to classified information.
Classified visit information is also processed and verified by Division of Security personnel.
If the information collection was not conducted, individuals' would not be permitted access to NRC classified information or be permitted to make visits involving NRC classified information.
3.
Reduction of Burden Through Information Technology. There is no significant impact upon the information collection requirement through the application of information technology. Only a small portion of other agency infomation [e.g., 925.17(c)] is available through information technology means. Most of the information is obtained directly from the individual affected.
4.
Effort to Identify Duplication. These requirements and procedures have been used by the Department of Energy to collect similar infor-mation. Similar requirements and procedures are used by other government agencies. Whenever possible, NRC uses these alternative sources of information.
5.
Effort to Use Similar Infomation. These requirements and procedures do permit NRC to use informatior already collected by other Federal agencies for similar access authorization programs. However, personal history information is time perishable and may need to be supplemented and updated.
6.
Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden.
None of the licensees affected qualify as small business enterprises or entities.
7.
Consequences of Less Frequent Collection.
If the information is collected less frequently, the assurance that only appropriately cleared individuals have access to NRC classified information is reduced. Less frequent collection may endanger the U. S. common defense and national security.
8.
Circumstances Which Justify Variation from OMB Guidelines. There is no variation from OMB Guidelines in this collection of information.
9.
Consultation Outside the Agency. The currently effective application, recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 10 CFR Part 25 have been the subject of formal rulemaking proceedings. -Public comments were received and rule changes were made where appropriate. Any new pro-posed information collection and recordkeeping requirements will also be published as part of a proposed rule, subject to public conenent.
These same requirements and procedures have been used by the Depart-ment of Energy. Similar requirements and procedures are used by other government agencies involved with programs requiring access to National Security Information.
- 10. Confidentiality of Information. The information collected is used to determine an applicant's eligibility for access authorization.
The information is protected from public disclosure under the Privacy Act of 1974 and is handled in accordance with routine uses specified in the Privacy Act Statement on each form.

- 11. Justification for Sensitive Questions.
Sensitive information collected under this program has been authorized under OMB Clearance Nos. 3150-0048, 3150-0050 and 3050-0051.
- 12. Estimated Annual Cost to the Federal Government..The estimated cost to the Federal Government in administering the program and procedures contained in these requireme'ntstis:

13.
Estimate of Burden. See Attachment A for a breakdown of burden estimates by Section.
14 Reasons for Change in Burden. The burden estimated in Section/25.35-represents a decrease of 585 hours0.00677 days <br />0.163 hours <br />9.672619e-4 weeks <br />2.225925e-4 months <br /> and $35,100 over the annual cost to respondents estimated under the= current OMB clearance. The previous estimate for Section 25.35 was a good faith estimate of the amount / frequency of classified visits that would need to be accomplished by,the licensees under 10 CFR Part 25. 0perational experience, however, has shown that the number of visits are far less than previously estimated. The burden estimate is even further reduced since previously, some burden was counted twice, once for the form itself and again as part of the requirements for Part 25. This new estimate is now shown on Attachment A.
- 15. Publication for Statistical Use. There is no application of statistics on the information collected. There is no publication of the information.
