Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 241, ``Report 
of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States.''
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 241.
    4. How often the collection is required: NRC Form 241 must be 
submitted each time an Agreement State licensee wants to engage in or 
revise its activities involving the use of radioactive byproduct 
material in a non-Agreement State. The NRC may waive the requirements 
for filing additional copies of NRC Form 241 during the remainder of 
the calendar year following receipt of the initial form from a person 
engaging in activities under the general license.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Any persons who hold a 
specific license from an Agreement State and want to conduct the same 
activity in non-Agreement States under the general license in 10 CFR 
150.20.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: The NRC annually 
receives approximately 4,600 responses from Agreement States associated 
with NRC Form 241. These responses include 200 initial reciprocity 
requests on NRC Form 241, and 1,100 revisions and 3,300 clarifications 
of the information submitted on the forms.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200 Agreement State 
licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1,200 hours (16 minutes per 
response)
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: Under the reciprocity provisions of 10 CFR part 150, 
any Agreement State licensee who engages in activities (use of 
radioactive byproduct material) in non-Agreement States under the 
general license in section 150.20 is required to file 4 copies of NRC 
Form 241, ``Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States,'' 
and 4 copies of its Agreement State license at least 3 days before 
engaging in each such activity. This mandatory notification permits NRC 
to schedule inspections of the activities to determine whether the 
activities are being conducted in accordance with requirements for 
protection of the public health and safety.
