This information
collection is approved for two years to allow the Commission time
to complete its review of record keeping and reporting requirements
and to revise RG 5.62 as appropriate. Comments regarding this
review were solicited in a June 19, 1992 Federal Register notice,
which suggested that a revised RG 5.62 would be proposed in 1993.
The current ICR indicates that this review is still on-going and
the NRC staff expects to make recommendations to the Commission by
the end of 1996. Without the results of this review, it is not
possible to determine that all of the information contained in
these record keeping and reporting requirements has practical
utility, as required by 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(1)(iii), or that they are
the least burdensome necessary for the proper performance of the
agency's function, as required by 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(1)(i). OMB has
thus determined, in accord with 5 CFR 1320.12(e)(1), that the delay
in completion of of NRC's review constitutes special circumstances
requiring approval for a shorter period. IF NRC decides to extend
this information collection beyond the two-year approval period, it
must either complete the review refered to in the June 1992 FR
notice and the current ICR and implement any resulting changes to
record keeping and reporting requirements before it resubmits this
information collection for OMB approval, or include a detailed
report with the ICR submission explaining why it has not been
possible to complete it, what are the major issues under
completion, and when the review is likely to be complete. In
addition, NRC should submit an interim report to OMB after one year
describing the progress of the review and any plans NRC has for
changes to the record keeping and reporting requirements and
revisions to RG 5.62, as well as a time table for completion of the
review and implementation of its recommendations.
