The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is inviting public comments on renewing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for collecting information through NRC Form 531, titled "Request for Taxpayer Identification Number." This process involves gathering taxpayer identification numbers from individuals and entities doing business with the government, including those holding licenses and permits from the NRC. Public comments are requested by February 18, 2025, to help ensure the proposed information collection is necessary and effective. The NRC is particularly interested in feedback on the necessity, burden, and potential improvements related to the data collection process.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to make sure they have people's special number, called a taxpayer identification number, so they can keep track if someone owes them money. They are asking people to say if they think collecting these numbers is important and if it is too much work to send them in.
