NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 241, ``Report 
of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0013
    3. How often the collection is required: NRC Form 241 must be 
submitted each time an Agreement State licensee wants to engage in or 
revise its activities involving the use of radioactive byproduct 
material in a non-Agreement State. The NRC may waive the requirements 
for filing additional 

[[Page 4687]]
copies of NRC Form 241 during the remainder of the calendar year 
following receipt of the initial form from a person engaging in 
activities under the general license.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Any persons who hold a 
specific license from an Agreement State and want to conduct the same 
activity in non-Agreement States under the general license in 10 CFR 
150.20.
    5. The number of annual respondents: The NRC annually receives 
approximately 4,600 responses from Agreement States associated with NRC 
Form 241. These responses include 200 initial reciprocity requests on 
NRC Form 241, and 1,100 revisions and 3,300 clarifications of the 
information submitted on the forms.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 1,200 hours
    7. Abstract: Under the reciprocity provisions of 10 CFR Part 150, 
any Agreement State licensee who engages in activities (use of 
radioactive byproduct material) in non-Agreement States under the 
general license in Section 150.20 is required to file four copies of 
NRC Form 241, ``Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement 
States,'' and four copies of its Agreement State license at least 3 
days before engaging in each such activity. This mandatory notification 
permits NRC to schedule inspections of the activities to determine 
whether the activities are being conducted in accordance with 
requirements for protection of the public health and safety.
    Submit, by April 8, 1996, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
