Question 65: The following question concerns OMB approval
of the information collection requirements of the revised
Part 20. Section 20.1008 indicates that licensees shall
implement the provisions of all sections of revised Part 20
on or before January 1, 1993 and that if a licensee chooses
to implement revised Part 20 before then, the licensee
shall implement all provisions of revised Part 20 not
otherwise exempted by subsection 20.1008 (d). However,
section 20.1009 says that the information collection
requirements of the revised Part 20 will not become
effective until OMB approves them. Does this mean that
before OMB approval is obtained, a licensee can implement
all of the provisions of the revised Part 20 except the
information collection requirements?
Answer: OMB approval of the information collection
requirements of revised Part 20 was obtained on January 24,
1992, with the exception of NRC Forms 4 and 5. OMB
approval for these forms is expected in the future.
