NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

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: New collection.
    2. The title of the information collection: Requests to Non-
Agreement States for Information, as authorized by section 274(a) of 
the Atomic Energy Act.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: One-time or as needed.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: The 18 States that have 
not signed section 274(b) Agreements with NRC (Non-Agreement States).
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: NRC expects to 
receive no more than 18 responses per occasional request or 
approximately 18 responses per year.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 18 Non-Agreement 
States.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 135 hours (18 responses per year x 
7.5 hours) per response.
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: Occasionally, requests will be made of the Non-
Agreement States for information similar to that requested from the 
Agreement States. Requests will be made on a one-time or as-needed 
basis, e.g., to respond to a specific incident, to gather information 
on licensing and inspection practices and other technical statistical 
information. These information requests will primarily refer to 
naturally occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive materials 
which may be subject to State regulations since they do not come under 
the purview of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended. The reason for 
requesting such information is that 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 programs more uniform and consistent.
    A copy of the final supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance 
requests are available at the NRC worldwide web site: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/doc-comment/omb/index.html. The document 
will be available on the NRC home page site for 60 days after the 
signature date of this notice.
    Comments and questions should be directed to the OMB reviewer 
listed below by April 9, 2003. Comments received after this date will 
be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of 
consideration cannot be given to comments received after this date.
