II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled,
``Requests to Agreement States and Non-Agreement States for
Information.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on April 26, 2021 (86 FR 22077).
On August 23, 2021 (86 FR 47164), the NRC published a Federal Register
notice with a 30-day comment period. The NRC was delayed in submitting
the renewal to OMB, therefore, the NRC is reissuing this information
collection to provide the public the full 30 days to submit comments.
1. The title of the information collection: ``Requests to Agreement
States and Non-Agreement States for Information.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: One-time, on
occasion.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,965.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 52.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 15,720.
10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting OMB approval of a plan for a
generic collection of information. The need and practicality of the
collection can be evaluated, but the details of the specific individual
collections will not be known until a later time. The Agreement States
and non-Agreement States will be asked on a one-time or as needed basis
to respond to a specific incident, to gather information on licensing
and inspection practices or other technical information, or to provide
comments on proposed policy and program updates. The results of such
information requests, which are authorized under Section 274(b) of the
Atomic Energy Act, will be utilized in part by the NRC in preparing
responses to Congressional inquiries. In addition, the information can
assist the Commission in its considerations and decisions involving
Atomic Energy Act materials programs in an effort to make the national
nuclear materials program more uniform and consistent.
