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, 
``Grant and Cooperative Agreement Provisions.'' 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 21, 2017, 82 FR 28362.
    1. The title of the information collection: Grant and Cooperative 
Agreement Provisions.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0107.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Technical 
Performance reports are required every 6 months; other information is 
submitted on occasion as needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Grant and Cooperative 
Agreement recipients.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 548 (370 responses 
plus 178 record keepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 178.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 4,173. 
(3,894 reporting hours plus 279 recordkeeping hours).
    10. Abstract: The Acquisition Management Division is responsible 
for awarding grants and cooperative agreements (financial assistance) 
for the NRC. The Acquisition Management Division collects information 
from assistance recipients in accordance with grant and cooperative 
agreement provisions in order to administer the NRC's financial 
assistance program. The information collected under the provisions 
ensures that the Government's rights are protected, the agency adheres 
to public laws, the work proceeds on schedule, and that disputes 
between the Government and the recipient are settled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of September, 2017.
