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 and Non-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 April 26, 2021, 86 FR 22077.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Requests to Agreement 
States and Non-Agreement States for Information''.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One-time, on 
occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: 50 states, the 
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,965.

[[Page 47165]]

    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 52.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 15,720.
    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 
and non-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, or to provide 
comments on proposed policy and program updates. The results of such 
information requests, which are authorized under Section 274(b) of the 
Atomic Energy Act, will be utilized in part by the NRC in preparing 
responses to Congressional inquiries. In addition, the information can 
assist the Commission in its considerations and decisions involving 
Atomic Energy Act materials programs in an effort to make the national 
nuclear materials program more uniform and consistent.
