NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2010-0360]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request 
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection 
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the 
Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: Comprehensive 
Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data Collection.
    2. Current OMB Approval Number: OMB 3150-0206.
    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All Agreement States who 
have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with NRC.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 37 (13 Agreement States 
respondents with sites of interest + 24 Agreement States respondents 
with no sites of interest).
    6. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 662 (590 hours from Agreement 
States with sites of interest + 72 hours from Agreement States with no 
sites of interest).
    7. Abstract: Agreement States will be asked to provide information 
about uranium recovery and complex sites undergoing decommissioning 
regulated by the Agreement States on an annual basis. The information 
request will allow the NRC to compile, in a centralized location, more 
complete information on the status of decommissioning and 
decontamination in the United States in order to provide a national 
perspective on decommissioning. The information will be made available 
to the public by the NRC in order to ensure openness and promote 
communication to enhance public knowledge of the national 
decommissioning program. This does not apply to information, such as 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information provided by the 
Agreement States, that is considered privileged or confidential. 
Information such as financial assurance and the status of 
decommissioning funding would need to be identified by the Agreement 
State as privileged or confidential, whereupon the NRC would withhold 
such information from public access and treat it as sensitive or non-
sensitive, per the considerations in 10 CFR 2.390 and 9.17. This does 
not apply to financial assurance or decommissioning funding information 
that is already available to the public. Although specific details of 
the funding mechanisms are treated as confidential, beneficial lessons 
learned regarding the improvement of decommissioning-related funding 
will be shared with the Agreement States.
    Submit, by January 21, 2011, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
