SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted 
to OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provision of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35):
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 
40, 61, 70, and 72, Termination or Transfer of Licensed Activities: 
Recordkeeping Requirements.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often is the collection required: A one-time transfer of 
records pertaining to decommissioning, offsite releases, and waste 
disposal to the responsible licensee when licensed activities are 
transferred or assigned to another licensee, in accordance with the 
terms of the license. A one-time forwarding of records pertaining to 
decommissioning, offsite releases, and waste disposal to the cognizant 
regulatory body once a license is terminated. There will also be a one-
time forwarding of records concerning low-level waste facilities to the 
disposal site owner once the facility is closed and the license 
transferred to the disposal site owner, and a one-time forwarding of 
records to the cognizant regulatory body and the party responsible for 
institutional control of the site once that body terminates the 
license.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Part 30, 40, 61, 70 and 
72 NRC and Agreement State licensees who are transferring, assigning, 
or terminating their licenses.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 962.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 962 per year.
    8. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: 4,999 hours for all 962 licensees affected

applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending 
its regulations pertaining to the disposition of certain records when a 
licensee terminates licensed activities or licensed activities are 
transferred to another licensee. The final rule requires a licensee to 
transfer records pertaining to decommissioning, and certain records 
pertaining to offsite releases and waste disposal, to the new licensee 
if licensed activities will continue at the same site, and it requires 
all affected licensees to forward these records to the NRC when a 
license is terminated.
