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, 
``Requests to Non-Agreement States for Information.'' 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 January 8, 2015 (80 FR 1051).
    1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Non-
Agreement States for Information.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0200
    3. Type of submission: Revision
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: The 15 Non-Agreement 
States (13 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico that have not signed 274(b) Agreements with the NRC)
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 120
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 15
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 1,089
    10. Abstract: The NRC is seeking to revise this information 
collection to be a plan for a generic collection of information. The 
need and practicality of the collection can be evaluated, but the 
details of the specific individual collections will not be known until 
a later time. Requests may be made of Non-Agreement States that are 
similar to those of Agreement States to provide a more complete 
overview of the national program for regulating radioactive materials. 
This information would be used in the decision-making of the 
Commission. With Agreement States and as part of the NRC's cooperative 
post-agreement program with the States pursuant to section 274(b), 
information on licensing and inspection practices, and/or incidents, 
and other technical and statistical information are exchanged. 
Therefore, information requests sought may take the form of surveys, 
e.g., telephonic and electronic surveys/polls and facsimiles.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of May 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tremaine Donnell,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
