## 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.
