B. Submitting Comments The NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal Rulemaking Web Site (https://www.regulations.gov). Please include Docket ID NRC-2019-0102 in your comment submission.

The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information in comment submissions that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at http://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into ADAMS, and the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information.

If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS.

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 OMBs approval for the information collection summarized below.

1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 9, 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 NRCs regulations, 10 CFR part 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 part 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.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
