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?
