## 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, “Comprehensive Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data Collection.” The NRC hereby informs                           ( print page 39918)                        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 March 17, 2017, 82 FR 14237.                

                    1.                     *The title of the information collection:*                     Comprehensive Decommissioning Program, Including Annual Data Collection.                

                    2.                     *OMB approval number:*                     3150-0206.                

                    3.                     *Type of submission:*                     Extension.                

                    4.                     *The form number if applicable:*                     N/A.                

                    5.                     *How often the collection is required or requested:*                     Annually.                

                    6.                     *Who will be required or asked to respond:*                     All Agreement States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.                

                    7.                     *The estimated number of annual responses:*                     69 (45 responses from Agreement States with sites of interest + 24 responses from Agreement States with no sites of interest).                

                    8.                     *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                     37 (13 Agreement States respondents with sites of interest + 24 Agreement States respondents with no sites of interest).                

*9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request:*                     432 (360 hours from Agreement States with sites of interest + 72 hours from Agreement States with no sites of interest).                

*10. Abstract:*                     The 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.                

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of August 2017.
