II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: Comprehensive
Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data Collection.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0206.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: N/A
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All Agreement States
who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 69 (45 responses from
Agreement States with sites of interest +24 responses from Agreement
States with no sites of interest).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 37 (13 Agreement
States respondents with sites of interest +24 Agreement States
respondents with no sites of interest).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 432 (360 hours from

10. Abstract: The Agreement States will be asked to provide
information about uranium recovery and complex sites undergoing
decommissioning regulated by the Agreement States on an annual basis.
The information request will allow the NRC to compile, in a centralized
location, more complete information on the status of decommissioning
and decontamination in the United States in order to provide a national
perspective on decommissioning. The information will be made available
to the public by the NRC in order to ensure openness and promote
communication to enhance public knowledge of the national
decommissioning program. This does not apply to information, such as
trade secrets and commercial or financial information provided by the
Agreement States, that is considered privileged or confidential.
III. Specific Requests for Comments.
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection
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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of March 2017.
