If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the OMB, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission.

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). On August 23, 2021 (86 FR 47164), the NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 30-day comment period. The NRC was delayed in submitting the renewal to OMB, therefore, the NRC is reissuing this information collection to provide the public the full 30 days to submit comments. 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. 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. Dated: November 17, 2021. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. David C. Cullison, NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
