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: 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.
    7. Abstract: Part 150 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), 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 the NRC regulatory 
authority continues, including certain information collection 
requirements. The information is needed to permit the 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 the NRC's safeguards and inspection programs.
    Submit, by November 5, 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?
