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: ``Draft OMB Supporting
Statement for NRC Form 241 Report of Proposed Activities in Non-
Agreement States, Areas of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore
Waters.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0013.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: Form 241.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: NRC Form 241
must be submitted each time an Agreement State licensee wants to engage
in or revise its activities involving the use of radioactive byproduct
material in a non-Agreement State, areas of exclusive Federal
jurisdiction, or offshore waters. The NRC may waive the requirements
for filing additional copies of NRC Form 241 during the remainder of
the calendar year following receipt of the initial form.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Any licensee who holds
a specific license from an Agreement State and want to conduct the same
activity in non-Agreement States areas of exclusive Federal
Jurisdiction, or offshore waters under the general license in section
150.20 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).

7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,645 responses.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 233 respondents.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the

10. Abstract: Any Agreement State licensee who engages in the use
of radioactive material in Non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive
Federal jurisdiction, or offshore waters, under the general license in
10 CFR 150.20, is required to file, with the NRC Regional Administrator
for the Region which the Agreement State that issues the license is
located, a copy of NRC Form 241, Report of Proposed Activities in Non-
Agreement State specific license, and the appropriate fee as prescribed
in 10 CFR 170.31 at least 3 days before engaging in such activity. This
mandatory notification permits the NRC to schedule inspections of the
activities to determine whether the activities are being conducted in
accordance with requirements for protection of the public health and
safety.
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
