NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2012-0036]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
[[Page 13156]]
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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: Request to Non-
Agreement States for Information.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0200.
3. How often the collection is required: 8 times per year.
4. Who is required or asked to report: The 15 Non-Agreement States
(13 States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico that have not signed Section 274(b) Agreements with NRC.).
5. The number of annual respondents: 15.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 1,089.
7. Abstract: Requests may be made of Non-Agreement States that are
similar to those of Agreement States to provide a more complete
overview of the national program for regulating radioactive materials.
This information would be used in the decision-making of the
Commission. With Agreement States and as part of the NRC cooperative
post-agreement program with the States pursuant to Section 274(b),
information on licensing and inspection practices, and/or incidents,
and other technical and statistical information are exchanged.
Therefore, information requests sought may take the form of surveys,
e.g., telephonic and electronic surveys/polls and facsimiles.
Submit, by May 4, 2012, 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?
