🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking OMB approval to renew the information collection for NRC Form 237, used to request or renew access authorizations. This form is required whenever NRC contractors, subcontractors, licensee employees, or other non-NRC personnel need access to special nuclear material or classified information. The collection occurs with every new or renewal request. The NRC estimates 922 annual responses from 77 respondents, requiring a total of 184 burden hours per year. The notice was published on April 3, 2026, with public comments due by May 4, 2026. This is an extension of OMB control number 3150-0050, authorized under 10 CFR Parts 11 and 25.
