information collection and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 informs potential 
respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The NRC 
published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on 
this information collection on June 6, 2013 (78 FR 34134).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: The Office of Federal 
and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs Requests to 
Agreement States for Information.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required: One time or as needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Thirty-Seven Agreement 
States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 738.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 37.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 3,690.
    10. Abstract: The Agreement States are asked on a one-time or as-
needed basis to respond to a specific incident, to gather information 
on licensing and inspection practices or other technical and training-
related information. In 2007, the NRC policy changed to begin funding 
training for Agreement State materials licensing and inspection staff 
and associated travel to attend courses offered through the NRC 
training program. The results of such information requests, which are 
authorized under Section 274(b) of the Atomic Energy Act, are utilized 
in part by the NRC in preparing responses to Congressional inquiries.
    The Agreement State comments are also solicited in the areas of 
proposed procedures, implementing guidance, and in the development of 
new and revised regulations and policies.
