AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: Policy Statement on 
Cooperation with States at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and Other 
Production or Utilization Facilities.
    3. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    4. How often the collection is required: On occasion--when a State 
wishes to observe NRC inspections or perform inspections for NRC.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Those States interested 
in observing or performing inspections.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: Maximum of 50, although 
not all States participate in the program.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 50.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: An average of 10 hours per State, 
or 500 hours if all States participated in the program.
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Section 3507(d) does not apply, since the collection is not 
contained in a proposed rule.
    10. Abstract: States wishing to enter into an agreement with NRC to 
observe or participate in NRC inspections at nuclear power facilities 
are requested to provide certain information to the NRC to ensure close 
cooperation and consistency with the NRC inspection program as 
specified by the Commission's Policy of Cooperation with States at 
Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production or 
Utilization Facilities.
