-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.

2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 9, Public
Records.
3. The form number if applicable: NRC-509 and NRC-509A.
4. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Individuals requesting
access to records under the Freedom of Information or Privacy Acts, or
to records that are already publicly available in the NRC's Public
Document Room. Submitters of information containing trade secrets or
confidential commercial or financial information who have been notified
that the NRC has made an initial determination that the information
should be disclosed.
6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 7,987.
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7,987.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 2,120 (.3 hours per response).
9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13

10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 9 establishes information collection
requirements for individuals making requests for records under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Privacy Act (PA). It also contains
requests to waive or reduce fees for searching for and reproducing
records in response to FOIA requests; and requests for expedited
processing of requests. The information required from the public is
necessary to identify the records they are requesting; to justify
requests for waivers or reductions in searching or copying fees; or to
justify expedited processing. Section 9.28(b) provides that if the
submitter of information designated to be trade secrets or confidential
commercial or financial information objects to the disclosure, he must
provide a written statement within 30 days that specifies all grounds
why the information is a trade secret or commercial or financial
information that is privileged or confidential.
