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: Part 150 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Exemptions and Continued
Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and in Offshore Waters Under
Section 274.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0032.
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: Agreement States who
have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 8.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 8.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 190.
10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 150, provide
certain exemptions to persons in Agreement States from the licensing
requirements contained in Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, and certain regulations of the Commission. The
regulations in 10 CFR part 150 also define the Commission's continued
regulatory authority over Agreement State activities which include
byproduct, source, and special nuclear material reporting requirements
related to reciprocity and enforcement. 10 CFR part 150 requires
telephonic notification to the NRC when an Agreement State licensee
identifies attempted theft or diversion of special nuclear material,
byproduct material, and tritium. This notification must be followed by
a written report either 15 or 60 days after the initial report,
depending on the materials involved. If additional information is
available after submission of the written report, an additional report
is submitted. These reports are used to inform the Commission, staff,
and other Federal agencies when special nuclear material, byproduct
material, or tritium is lost or stolen.
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?
Dated: February 1, 2022.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
