ACTION: Regulatory guide; withdrawal.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is withdrawing
Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.22,
‘‘Assessment of the Assumption of
Normality (Employing Individual
Observed Values).’’ This RG is being
withdrawn because the guidance for
licensees to develop written procedures
describing statistical analyses of nuclear
material accounting data, specifically
when assessing the assumption of
normality in a data set, is no longer
needed.
DATES: The effective date of the
withdrawal of RG 5.22 is July 21, 2017.

NRC–2017–0161 when contacting the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory
Guide 5.22 was published in April 1974
to provide guidance on meeting the
requirements related to material control
and accounting (MC&A) statistical
control procedures in § 70.22(b) of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ‘‘Contents of applications.’’
This requirement, regarding submittal of
the licensees’ description of its MC&A
procedures, did not specifically require
the methodology that the guidance in
RG 5.22 addressed and no longer exists
in 10 CFR 70.22(b). The MC&A
requirements have all been moved to 10
CFR part 74 and no specific
requirements exist for assessing the
assumption of normality.
Regulatory Guide 5.22 endorsed the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) Standard N15.15–1973,
‘‘Assessment of the Assumption of
Normality (Employing Individual
Observed Values),’’ with qualifications.
The ANSI Standard N15.15–1973
provided a common method used in
assessing the assumption of normality
in a data set. However, the NRC is not
aware that any licensee ever used this
particular RG or the ANSI standard it
endorsed since the method is not
required by NRC regulations.
Instructions on performing such an
analysis, if a licensee chose to test their
MC&A data for the assumption of

PO 00000

Frm 00070

Fmt 4703

normality, can be found in NUREG/CR–
4604 (PNL–5849), ‘‘Statistical Methods
for Nuclear Material Management’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML103430339).
NUREG/CR–4604 was developed to be a
comprehensive guidance document on
statistical methods that licensees may
use in evaluating MC&A data.
Withdrawal of a RG means that the
guide no longer provides useful
information or has been superseded by
other guidance, technological
innovations, congressional actions, or
other events. The NRC is withdrawing
RG 5.22 because it is no longer needed.
The withdrawal of RG 5.22 does not
alter any prior or existing NRC licensing
approvals or the acceptability of
licensee commitments to RG 5.22.
Although RG 5.22 is withdrawn, current
licensees may continue to use it, and
withdrawal does not affect any existing
licenses or agreements. However, by
withdrawing RG 5.22, the NRC will no
longer approve its use in future requests
or applications for NRC licensing
actions.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day
of July, 2017.

II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled, ‘‘NRC Form 4,
Cumulative Occupational Exposure
History.’’ The NRC hereby informs
potential respondents that an agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and that a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
March 28, 2017 (82 FR 15376).
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 4, ‘‘Cumulative
Occupational Exposure History.’’
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0005.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number if applicable:
NRC Form 4.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: On occasion. The NRC
does not collect NRC Form 4. However,
NRC inspects the NRC Form 4 records
at NRC-licensed facilities.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: NRC licensees who are
required to comply with part 20 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR).
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 227,841 (223,700 third party
disclosure + 4,141 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 4,146.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to comply with
the information collection requirement
or request: 30,348.
10. Abstract: The NRC Form 4 is used
to record the summary of an
occupational worker’s cumulative
occupational radiation dose, including
prior occupational exposure and the
current year’s occupational radiation

exposure. The NRC Form 4 is used by
licensees, and inspected by the NRC, to
ensure that occupational radiation doses
do not exceed the regulatory limits
specified in 10 CFR 20.1501.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day
of July 2017.

20549–2736
Extension:
Regulation S–X; SEC File No. 270–003,
OMB Control No. 3235–0009

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Information collected and information
prepared pursuant to Regulation S–X
focus on the form and content of, and
requirements for, financial statements
filed with periodic reports and in
connection with the offer and sale of
securities. Investors need reasonably
current financial statements to make
informed investment and voting
decisions.
The potential respondents include all
entities that file registration statements
or reports pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a, et seq.), the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) or the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1,
et seq.).
Regulation S–X specifies the form and
content of financial statements when
those financial statements are required
to be filed by other rules and forms
under the federal securities laws.
Compliance burdens associated with the
financial statements are assigned to the
rule or form that directly requires the
financial statements to be filed, not to
Regulation S–X. Instead, an estimated
