Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently submitted to 
OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35).
    1. Type of submission, new, or extension: New.
    2. The title of the information collection: Policy Statements, 
``Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC 
Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof By States Through 
Agreement'' (46 FR 7540; January 23, 1981, as amended by policy 
statements published at 46 FR 36969, July 16, 1981, and 48 FR 33376, 
July 21, 1983) and ``NRC Review of Agreement State Radiation Control 
Programs: Final General Statement of Policy'' (57 FR 22495, May 28, 
1992); and Comprehensive and Update questionnaires, Evaluation of 
Agreement State Radiation Control Programs.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Policy Statements: As 
needed. Questionnaires: Initially for review of a State's request to 
become an Agreement State Program and biennial thereafter.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Any State receiving 
Agreement State status by signing Section 274(b) agreement with NRC. 
Presently there are 29 Agreement States. Because a few of the States 
have more than one program, there are 34 programs in all.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: New Agreement States: 
Approximately one response every three years; Existing Agreement 
States: Approximately one-half (17) of continuing Agreement State 
programs are asked to respond annually.
    7. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: For continuing Agreement State 
programs, approximately 211,680 hours would be expended, or an average 
of 6,226 hours per program; for a new Agreement State program, 
approximately 3,600 hours would be expended each year over a three year 
period; therefore, approximately a total of 215,280 hours would be 
expended annually.
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h) Pub. L. 96-511 applies: 
Not applicable.
    9. Abstract: Agreement States are requested to provide information 
concerning their materials regulatory programs in their States. This 
information is used by the Commission to carry out its reviews of State 
radiation control programs to ensure that these programs are compatible 
with the Commission's, meet the applicable parts of Section 274 of the 
Atomic Energy Act, and are adequate to protect the public health and 
safety.
