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 June 13, 2024, 89 FR 50380.
    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: Extension.
    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: 684.
    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: 5,472.
    10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting OMB approval of a plan for a 
generic collection of information. The need and

[[Page 83707]]

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: October 11, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
