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

the ``Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC 
Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof By States Through

Program (IMPEP) Questionnaire, and Agreement State Participation in 
IMPEP.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0183.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required: Every four years for 
completion of the IMPEP questionnaire in preparation for an IMPEP

participation by Agreement States in the IMPEP reviews and fulfilling 
requirements for Agreement States to maintain their programs.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: All Agreement States 
(37 Agreement States who have signed Agreements with NRC under Section

reviews; 4,300 hours for Agreement State applications; and 281,520 
hours to maintain Agreement State programs).
    10. Abstract: The States wishing to become Agreement States are 
requested to provide certain information to the NRC as specified by the 
Commission's Policy Statement, ``Criteria for Guidance of States and 
NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption 
Thereof By States Through Agreement.'' The Agreement States need to 
ensure that the radiation control program under the Agreement remains 
adequate and compatible with the requirements of Section 274 of the Act 
and must maintain certain information. The NRC conducts periodic 
evaluations through IMPEP to ensure that these

programs are compatible with the NRC's program, meet the applicable
