II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Comprehensive Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data 
Collection.'' The NRC hereby informs

[[Page 39918]]

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 March 17, 2017, 82 FR 14237.
    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. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 432 (360 
hours from Agreement States with sites of interest + 72 hours from 
Agreement States with no sites of interest).
    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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of August 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
