    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.

    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.

    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.

    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All Agreement States that have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.

    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 39 (14 responses from Agreement States with sites undergoing decommissioning + 25 responses from Agreement States with no sites undergoing decommissioning).

    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 39 (14 Agreement States with sites undergoing decommissioning + 25 Agreement States with no sites undergoing decommissioning).

The information will be made available to the public by the NRC in order to ensure openness and promote communication to enhance public knowledge of the national decommissioning program.
