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.
