The NRC Form 136 affects the employees
of licensees and contractors who have been granted an NRC access
authorization. When access authorization is no longer needed, the
completion of the form apprises the respondent of their continuing
security responsibilities.
The overall burden increased by
27 hours from 23 to 50 hours because of an increase in the number
of requests received during the past clearance cycle. However, the
cost for professional effort has increased in accordance with Part
170 from $214/hr to $257/hr.
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
