NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. 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, Areas of Exclusive
Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters.''
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, areas of exclusive Federal
jurisdiction, or offshore waters. The NRC may waive the requirements
for filing additional copies of NRC Form 241 during the remainder of
the calendar year following receipt of the initial form from a licensee
engaging in activities under the general license.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Any licensees who holds a
specific license from an Agreement State and wants to conduct the same
activity in non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive Federal
jurisdiction, or offshore waters under the general license in 10 CFR
150.20.
5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 167 respondents.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 1,033 hours (6.18 hours per response).
7. Abstract: Under the reciprocity provisions of 10 CFR part 150,
any Agreement State licensee who engages in activities (use of
radioactive material) in non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive
Federal jurisdiction, or offshore waters, 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, Areas of
Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters,'' and four copies
of its Agreement State license at least 3 days before engaging in 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 May 17, 2005, 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?
