The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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. 

                        1.                         *Type of submission, new, revision, or extension:*                         Revision.

                        3.                         *The form number if applicable:*                         Not applicable.

                        5.                         *Who will be required or asked to report:*                         32 Agreement States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with NRC.                     

                        6.                         *An estimate of the number of responses:*                         134.

                        9.                         *An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 applies:*                         Not applicable.                     

                        10.                         *Abstract:*                         Agreement States are asked on a one-time or as-needed basis, e.g., to respond to a specific incident, to gather information on licensing and inspection practices and other technical statistical information. The results of such information requests, which are authorized under Section 274(b) of the Atomic Energy Act, are utilized in part by NRC in preparing responses to Congressional inquiries. Agreement State comments are also solicited in the areas of proposed procedure and policy development.
