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, ‘‘US NRC
Acquisition Regulation.’’ 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 9, 2021 (86 FR 13589).
1. The title of the information
collection: ‘‘US NRC Acquisition
Regulation.’’
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0169.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable:
Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: Monthly, once (at time of
award), and on occasion (when changes
occur).
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Contractors and bidders.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 6,258 (6,112 reporting
responses + 146 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 535.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 17,412 (14,834 reporting +
2,578 recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: The mandatory
requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission Acquisition Regulation
(NRCAR) implement and supplement
the government-wide Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 121 / Monday, June 28, 2021 / Notices
ensure that the regulations governing
the procurement of goods and services
with the NRC satisfy the needs of the
agency. This includes reports and
recordkeeping requirements for certain
contractors or offerors to submit a
monthly progress report that
summarizes work performed during the
previous month, and/or retain records of
equipment, payroll, inspection and
quality control records, as applicable.
Because of differing statutory authorities
among Federal agencies, the FAR
permits agencies to issue a regulation to
implement FAR policies and procedures
internally to satisfy the specific need of
the agency. The NRCAR includes
policies, procedures, solicitation
provisions and contract clauses needed
to ensure effective and efficient
evaluation, negotiation, and
administration of agency acquisitions.
Certain reports, such as reports of
contractor organizational conflicts of
interest or changes in key personnel are
collected from contractors on as needed
basis as changes occur, whether at the
time of award or throughout the life of
the contract. Some reports are required
to be submitted monthly such as the
Financial Status report and Technical
Progress Report. There are also some
reports that bidders are required to
submit upon request, such as responses
to pre-award questions that demonstrate
their ability to meet minimum standards
set forth in FAR.
