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, 
``Requests to Non-Agreement States for Information.'' The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is

[[Page 42715]]

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 April 2, 2018, (83 FR 14064).
    1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Non-
Agreement States for Information.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0200.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not Applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Non-Agreement States.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 120 responses.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 15 respondents.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 840 
hours.
    10. Abstract: Occasionally, requests may be made of Non-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. The legal basis is that section 
274(a)(3) of the Atomic Energy Act authorizes and directs the NRC to 
cooperate with the States to promote an orderly regulatory pattern 
between the Commission and State governments with respect to nuclear 
development and use and regulation of byproduct, source, and special 
nuclear materials. Information requests sought from Non-Agreement 
States may take the form of one-time surveys, e.g., telephonic and 
electronic surveys/polls and facsimiles (questionnaires).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of August 2018.

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