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, 
``Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and 
in Offshore Waters Under Section 274.'' 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 June 17, 2015, 80 FR 34707.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 150, 
``Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and 
in Offshore Waters Under Section 274.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0032.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Sections 
150.16(b), 150.17(c), and 150.19(c) of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), require the submission of reports following 
specified events, such as the theft or unlawful diversion of licensed 
radioactive material. The source material inventory reports required 
under 10 CFR 150.17(b) must be submitted annually by certain licensees.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Agreement State 
licensees authorized to possess source or special nuclear material at 
certain types of facilities, or at any one time and location in greater 
than specified amounts. In addition, persons engaging in activities in 
non-Agreement States, in areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction within 
Agreement States, or in offshore waters.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 8.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 8.

[[Page 64454]]

    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 190.
    10. Abstract: Part 150 provides certain exemptions from NRC 
regulations for persons in Agreement States. Part 150 also defines 
activities in Agreement States and in offshore waters over which the 
NRC regulatory authority continues, including certain information 
collection requirements. The information is needed to permit the NRC to 
make reports to other governments and the International Atomic Energy 
Agency in accordance with international agreements. The information is 
also used to carry out the NRC's safeguards and inspection programs.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of October 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
