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 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register 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: 10 CFR part 150,
``Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and
in Offshore Waters under section 274.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0032.
3. How often the collection is required: 10 CFR 150.16(b),
150.17(c), and 150.19(c) require the submission of reports following
specified events, such as the theft or unlawful diversion of licensed
radioactive material. The source material inventory reports required
under 10 CFR 150.17(b) must be submitted annually by certain licensees.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Agreement State licensees
authorized to possess source or special nuclear material at certain
types of facilities, or at any one time and location in greater than
specified amounts. In addition, persons engaging in activities in non-
Agreement States, in areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction within
Agreement States, or in offshore waters.
5. The number of annual respondents: 15.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 190 hours.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 150 provides certain exemptions from NRC
regulations for persons in Agreement States. Part 150 also defines
activities in Agreement States and in offshore waters over which NRC
regulatory authority continues, including certain information
collection requirements. The information is needed to permit NRC to
make reports to other governments and the International Atomic Energy
Agency in accordance with international agreements. The information is
also used to carry out NRC's safeguards and inspection programs.
Submit, by June 29, 2009, 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?
