NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request (DRAFT)

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (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: Grant and Cooperative 
Agreement Provisions.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0107.
    3. How often the collection is required: Most reports are submitted 
on occasion. Recipients must also submit technical performance reports 
twice yearly.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Grantees and Cooperators.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 140.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 4,613 hours.
    7. Abstract: The Division of Contracts (DC) is responsible for the 
awarding of grants and cooperative agreements for the NRC. The DC 
collects information from grantees and cooperators in order to 
administer these programs. The DC uses provisions (required to obtain 
or retain a benefit in its awards and cooperative agreements) to 
ensure: Adherence to Public Laws, that the Government's rights are 
protected, that work proceeds on schedule, and that disputes between 
the Government and the recipient are settled.
    Submit, by June 6, 2008, 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?
