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 Annual Site List and Point of Contact.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0206.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    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 
that have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 39 (14 responses from 
Agreement States with sites undergoing decommissioning + 25 responses 
from Agreement States with no sites undergoing decommissioning).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 39 (14 Agreement 
States with sites undergoing decommissioning + 25 Agreement States with 
no sites undergoing decommissioning).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 40.5 (28 hours for 
Agreement States with sites undergoing decommissioning + 12.5 hours for 
Agreement States with no sites undergoing decommissioning).
    10. Abstract: The Agreement States will be asked to provide a list 
of uranium recovery and complex sites undergoing decommissioning 
regulated by their States on an annual basis. The Agreement States will 
also be asked to provide a point of contact who is cognizant of site 
status. The information request will allow the NRC to compile, in a 
centralized location, updated contact information and a list of sites 
decommissioning in the United States 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.

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?
