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

Identification Number.
3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 531.
4. How often the collection is required: One time from each
applicant or individual to enable that Department of the Treasury to
process electronic payments or collect debts owed to the government.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 requires all Federal agencies to obtain TINs
from all persons who do business with the Government including
contractors and recipient of credit, licenses, permits, and benefits.
6. An estimate of the number of responses: 300.
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 300.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 25 hours (5 minutes per response).
9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: Applicable.
10. Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires
that agencies collect taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from
individuals who do business with the Government, including contractors
and recipient of credit, licenses, permits and benefits. TINs will be
used to process all electronic payments (refunds) made to licensees by
electronic funds transfer by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury).
Treasury will use TINs to determine whether the refund can be used to
administratively offset any delinquent debts reported to the Treasury
by other government agencies. In addition, TINs will be used to collect
and report to the Treasury any delinquent indebtedness arising out of
the licensee's or applicant's relationship with the NRC.
