The NRC requested an emergency review of this information collection in order to add this form to the previously approved information collection OMB Control Number 3150-0014 for a period of 6 months. The purpose of this information collection is to request an extension of the approval of the Part 20 Respirator Protection Exemption Request for Non-Power Reactors/RTR and the Part 20 Respirator Protection Exemption Request for Power Reactors Online Forms. These forms simplify the filing the exemption requests because the existing system may be burdensome for licensees under current conditions. Under the existing collection under OMB Control No. 3150-0014, licensees are already able to seek exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation. This information collection only addresses the incremental burden change to this existing clearance due to the form and not the total burden for the clearance. 10 CFR Part 20 contains specific requirements for respiratory protection. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 PHE, the NRC will also consider exemption requests for the medical evaluation frequency and fit-testing frequency requirements specified in 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(5)(iii) and 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(6); these exemptions would allow delay of these requirements during the COVID-19 PHE as allowed by 10 CFR 20.2301 “Applications for exemptions.”
The latest form for 10 CFR 20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation expires 2021-09-30 and can be found here.
