NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted the following proposal for the
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to OMB for review. 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
[[Page 63632]]
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: New collection.
2. The title of the information collection: Comprehensive
Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data Collection, OMB 3150-
xxxx.
3. The form number if applicable: N/A.
4. How often the collection is required: Annually (to keep site
information current).
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Agreement States who
have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with NRC and are regulating
uranium recovery and/or complex sites undergoing decommissioning.
6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 68. (2 responses
for each respondent.)
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 34.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 677 hours (approximately 20 hours
per respondent).
9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: N/A.
10. Abstract: Agreement States will be asked to provide information
about uranium recovery and complex sites undergoing decommissioning
regulated by the Agreement States on an annual basis. The information
request will allow the NRC to compile, in a centralized location, more
complete information on the status of decommissioning and
decontamination in the United States in order to provide a national
perspective on decommissioning. The information will be made available
to the public by the NRC in order to ensure openness and promote
communication to enhance public confidence in the national
decommissioning program. This does not apply to information, such as
trade secrets and commercial or financial information provided by the
Agreement States as privileged or confidential. Information such as
financial assurance and the status of decommissioning funding would
need to be identified by the Agreement State as privileged or
confidential, whereupon the NRC would withhold such information from
public access and treat it as sensitive or non-sensitive, per the
considerations in 10 CFR 2.390 and 9.17. This does not apply to
financial assurance or decommissioning funding information that is
already available to the public. Although specific details of the
funding mechanisms are treated as confidential, beneficial lessons
learned regarding the improvement of decommissioning-related funding
will be shared with the Agreement States.
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 December 10, 2007. 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:
Nathan J. Frey, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (3150-
xxxx), NEOB-10202, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of November, 2007.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
