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 Agreement States for Information.'' 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 March 16, 2020 (85 FR 14979).
    1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Agreement 
States for Information.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time or 
as needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Thirty-nine Agreement 
States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 624 (1,872 over the 
course of the three-year clearance period).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 39.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 4,992 
(14,976 over the course of the three-year clearance period).
    10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting OMB approval of a plan for a 
generic collection of information. The need and practicality of the 
collection can be evaluated, but the details of the specific individual 
collections will not be known until a later time. The Agreement States 
will be asked on a one-time or as needed basis to respond to a specific 
incident, to gather information on licensing and inspection practices 
or other technical information. The results of such information 
requests, which are authorized under Section 274(b) of the Atomic 
Energy Act, will be utilized on part by the NRC in preparing responses 
to Congressional inquiries.
