SUMMARY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public comment about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) approval for renewal of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:

1. The title of the information collection: NRC Nuclear Education Grantee Survey.

2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX.

3. How often the collection is required: Once every 5 years.

4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC Grantees.

5. The number of annual respondents: 60.

6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 45 hours.

7. Abstract: The NRC seeks to conduct a survey of grantees funded between 2007 and 2011 under NRC's Nuclear Education Grants. The survey will allow the NRC to collect information that is not otherwise available from all grantees to assess the impact of these funds on grantee programs, their faculty, and their students.

1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility?
