The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, (42
U.S.C. 2011), as amended, establishes requirements for protecting
radioactive materials. The requirements of this Act are implemented
in the FAR at clause 52.223-7, Notice of Radioactive Materials.
This clause requires contractors to notify the Government prior to
delivery of items containing radioactive materials.
The information collection
requirement in the FAR remains unchanged with the exception of the
annual public burden and estimated cost to the Government. The
figures have been updated to reflect an updated number of
respondents based on current FPDS data and current salary and
burden rates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
