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, NRC
Policy Statement, ``Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in
Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by
States Through Agreement,'' Maintenance of Existing Agreement State
Programs, Requests for Information Through the Integrated Materials
Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) Questionnaire, and Agreement
State Participation in IMPEP. 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 October 18, 2022, 87 FR 63105.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Policy Statement,
``Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC
Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through
Agreement,'' Maintenance of Existing Agreement State Programs, Requests
for Information Through the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation
Program (IMPEP) Questionnaire, and Agreement State Participation in
IMPEP.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0183.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Every 4 years
for completion of the IMPEP questionnaire in preparation for an IMPEP
review. One time for new Agreement State applications. Annually for
participation by Agreement States in the IMPEP reviews and fulfilling
requirements for Agreement States to maintain their programs.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All Agreement States
who have signed Agreements with NRC under Section 274b. of the Atomic
Energy Act (the Act) and any non- Agreement State seeking to sign an
Agreement with the Commission.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 65.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 41.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 290,822.
10. Abstract: The States wishing to become Agreement States are
requested to provide certain information to the NRC as specified by the
Commission's Policy Statement, ``Criteria for Guidance of States and
NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption
Thereof by States Through Agreement.'' The Agreement States need to
ensure that the radiation control program under the Agreement remains
adequate and compatible with the requirements of Section 274 of the Act
and must maintain certain information. The NRC conducts periodic
evaluations through IMPEP to ensure that these programs are compatible
with the NRC's program, meet the applicable parts of the Act, and
adequate to protect public health and safety.
