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. The NRC published a Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
August 17, 2012 (77 FR 49833).
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information

Cooperation with States at Commercial
Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear
Production and Utilization Facilities.
3. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0163.
4. The form number if applicable:
N/A.
5. How often the collection is
required: On occasion, when a State
wishes to observe NRC inspection or
perform inspections for the NRC.
6. Who will be required or asked to
report: Nuclear Power Plant Licensees,
Materials Security Licensees and those
States interested in observing or
performing inspections.
7. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 70.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 55.
9. An estimate of the total number of

status of nuclear power plants and
radioactive materials. This involvement
is, in part, in response to the States’
public health and safety responsibilities
and, in part, in response to their
citizens’ desire to become more
knowledgeable about the safety of
nuclear power plants and radioactive
materials. States have identified NRC
inspections as one possible source of
knowledge for their personnel regarding
plant and materials licensee activities,
and the NRC, through the policy
statement on Cooperation with States,
has been amenable to accommodating
the States’ needs in this regard.
Additionally, the NRC has entered into
reimbursable Agreements with certain
States under Section 274i of the Act, as
amended, to employ their resources to
conduct radioactive materials security
inspections against NRC Orders.
The public may examine and have
copied for a fee, publicly available
documents, including the final
supporting statement, at the NRC’s
Public Document Room, Room O–1F21,

Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The
OMB clearance requests are available at
the NRC’s Web site: https://www.nrc.gov/
public-involve/doc-comment/omb/. The
document will be available on the
NRC’s home page site for 60 days after
the signature date of this notice.
Comments and questions should be
directed to the OMB reviewer listed
below by January 22, 2013. Comments
received after this date will be
considered if it is practical to do so, but
assurance of consideration cannot be
given to comments received after this
date.
