10 CFR Part 73, Requirements for
Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Records Checks For Individuals
Seeking Unescorted Access to Research or Test Reactors, Proposed
Rule The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to require
fingerprint-based criminal history records checks for RTR licensees
to grant individuals unescorted access to their facilities. This
action is necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 652
of the EPAct of 2005, which amended Section 149 of the AEA, to
require fingerprinting and an FBI identification and criminal
history records check of any person who is permitted unescorted
access to a utilization facility. As a result of this action, RTR
licensees would be subject to the fingerprinting and criminal
history records check requirements specified in the NRCs
regulations instead of NRC issued Orders EA-07-074 and EA-07-098
pertaining to this matter. The estimated recordkeeping and
reporting burden of the proposed rule is 690 hours (240 hours
recordkeeping plus 450 hours reporting). The 240 annual hours
recordkeeping and 450 annual hours reporting were approved by OMB
on June 24, 2008, as a representation of the estimated annual cost
to industry under the Orders. As a result, this rule represents no
increase in burden to licensees: they are already conducting these
activites under Orders.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
