SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: In 2018, thirty Federal 

organizations came together under the 

auspices of the NITRD VIA Team to 

develop an action plan for providing 

direction, coherence, and consensus 

across federal R&D efforts. 

Since publication of the VIA R&D 

Action Plan in 2020, government 

agencies have invested in computer 

vision research from foundational 

efforts to the development of systems 

that support agency missions and 

programs. As a reference, NITRD 

supplements to the President’s annual 

budget requests collect information on 

government spending in artificial 

intelligence (AI), part of which includes 

computer vision research, showing close 

to $800 million in FY 2020, close to $1 

billion in FY 2021, and over $1 billion 

in requests for FY 2022, as noted in 

Artificial Intelligence R&D Investments 

FYs 2018–2022. 

At the same time, private sector 

funding on R&D of applications for 

video and image analysis continues to 

dwarf government funding in almost 

every domain. Examples range from 

combining computer vision with 

robotics for increased automation in 

agriculture to increasing the use of 

biometrics to provide secure access to 

consumer devices. Government can take 

advantage of the results of private sector 

R&D through an open marketplace. Still, 

the need remains for Federal research 

investment, given that there is a strong 

public benefit but little to no 

opportunity for building a private sector 

business case. 

Along with the advances in research, 

development, and technology 

implementation over the past several 

years, there have also been changes in 

societal awareness of, expectations for, 

and the use of computer vision. For 

example, at the Federal level, Executive 

Order 13960, Promoting the Use of 

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in 

the Federal Government, reflects the 

importance of human interaction with 

AI technologies, including video and 

image analytics. 

The VIA R&D Action Plan lists the 

following six strategic goals and 

objectives: 

• Invest in foundational research that 

applies to multiple domains 

• Develop new, agile, and effective R&D 

methodologies 

• Improve communication and 

coordination across government 

agencies 

• Improve outreach and knowledge 

sharing between the public and 

private sectors 

• Develop and sustain an effective and 

diverse technical workforce and a 

robust research community 

• Develop and promulgate standards 

and best practices that support 

integration of R&D 

Objectives: NITRD NCO seeks input 

on potential revisions to the VIA R&D 

Action Plan to reflect changes in 

technology and the socio-technical 

environment over the past four years. 

Responders are asked to answer the 

following questions in response to the 

RFI: 

1. What R&D has taken place relevant 

to each goal since the VIA R&D Action 

Plan was published in March 2020? 

How does R&D reduce or change the 

need for the Federal Government to 

continue to pursue each goal? 

2. What societal changes have taken 

place that would impact the need for the 

Federal Government to continue to 

pursue each goal? 

3. With R&D advances and changes in 

the socio-technical environment, what 

additional goal(s) should the Federal 

Government consider?

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, ‘‘Exemptions 

and Continued Regulatory Authority in 

Agreement States and in Offshore 

Waters Under Section 274 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954.’’ 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 

February 4, 2022, 87 FR 6629. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: ‘‘Exemptions and Continued 

Regulatory Authority in Agreement 

States and in Offshore Waters Under 

Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954.’’ 

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 Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) regulations in part 

150 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), 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. 

Dated: July 11, 2022. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
