II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Agreement 
States for Information.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
    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: Thirty-Seven Agreement 
States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 421.8 responses.

a later time. The Agreement States will be asked on a one-time or as-
needed basis to respond to a specific incident, to gather information 
on licensing and inspection practices or other technical information. 
The results of such information requests, which are authorized under 
Section 274(b) of the Atomic Energy Act, will be utilized in part by 
the NRC in preparing responses to Congressional inquiries.

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?
