    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of 
information which included a request for extension of an existing 
collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``The Office of 
Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Requests for Information on 10 
CFR part 150, Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in 
Agreement States and in Offshore Waters Under Section 274 of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954.'' 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 October 10, 2018, (83 FR 
50969).
    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 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0032.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One-time or 
as-needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Agreement States who 
have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 8.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 8.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the Information collection requirement or request: 190.
    10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations 
in part 150 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
provide certain exemptions to persons in Agreement States from the 
licensing requirements contained in Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and certain regulations of the 
Commission. The regulations in 10 CFR part 150 also define the 
Commission's continued regulatory authority over Agreement State 
activities which include byproduct, source, and special nuclear 
material reporting requirements related to reciprocity and enforcement. 
There exists a need for the NRC to gather information concerning the 
application, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements imposed by 
specific sections of 10 CFR part 150.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of March 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
