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, 
``IAEA Design Information Questionnaire Forms.'' 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 31, 2023 (88 FR 19332).
    1. The title of the information collection: IAEA Design Information 
Questionnaire Forms.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0056.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees of 
facilities on the U.S. eligible list who have been notified in writing 
by the NRC to submit the form.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 2.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 360.
    10. Abstract: In order for the U.S. to fulfill its responsibilities 
as a participant in the U.S./International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
Safeguards Agreement, the NRC must collect information from licensees 
about their installations and provide it to the IAEA, if requested by 
the IAEA. Licensees of facilities that appear on the U.S. eligible list 
and have been notified in writing by the NRC are required to complete 
and submit a Design Information Questionnaire to provide information 
concerning their installation for use by the IAEA.
