9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 640 hours.

10. Abstract: This information

collection request is an NDA used for domestic and foreign entities to obtain and use the NRC’s nuclear safety analytical computer codes. NRC develops and uses computer codes to independently model and evaluate safety issues associated with the licensed use of radioactive materials. As a global leader in nuclear regulatory research and safety assessment, NRC is frequently approached by domestic and international organizations requesting copies of NRC computer codes. In general, to obtain an NRC code an individual or organization first agrees to not redistribute the code (i.e., non- disclosure) through an NDA. The NDA also imposes terms and conditions for code use, and requires notification to NRC of code errors, code modifications, and updated user information. An officially signed and executed NDA of users agreeing to the terms and conditions is current NRC practice for access to NRC-developed computer codes. Once the NDA has been signed, received, reviewed, and accepted, the requesting individual or organization is given access to the requested code. The information collection enables the NRC to ensure that proper procedures and agreements are in place to guide the distribution and use of these codes

OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL

[Previous Control No. 3255–0003]

Modification of OSC Annual Survey

AGENCY: Office of Special Counsel.

ACTION: Notice for public comment.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use of a 2019 survey that differs slightly in process and timing from a previously approved information collection, OSC’s annual survey. The prior OMB approval for the annual survey expired November 30, 2016. As required by statute, since 1994 OSC has conducted an annual survey collecting feedback from those who have filed complaints/disclosures with OSC. The prior surveys required 12 minutes to complete. The proposed OSC 2019 survey consists of a single electronic questionnaire with eleven questions that requires 5.5 minutes to complete. The prior annual surveys could only be sent after OSC closed the individual’s complaint or disclosure file. The timing therefore deprived OSC of useful feedback about how individuals perceive OSC as they are in the process of working or engaging with OSC. Congress authorized this 2019 survey (and suspended the previously approved annual survey), so OSC could collect feedback from individuals who file complaints or disclosures with OSC while their cases or queries are open.

See the OSC Reauthorization Act of 2017, Public Law 115, Sec. 1097. OSC

is requesting emergency approval for the proposed 2019 survey, which by statute must be completed by the end of FY2019.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before August 29, 2019. However, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, OSC is requesting OMB’s emergency
