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, “Requests to Federally Recognized Indian Tribes for Information.” 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 March 8, 2023, 88 FR 14399.
1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Federally Recognized Indian Tribes for Information.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0245.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
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: Federally recognized Indian Tribes.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 32.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 637.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 5,120 (15,360 hours over the course of the three-year clearance period (32 responses per request × 20 requests per year × 8 hours per response × 3 years = 15,360 hours)).
10. Abstract: NRC actions and NRC regulated activities may affect Indian Tribes and their current or ancestral Tribal lands. On January 9, 2017, the NRC published a Tribal Policy Statement (82 FR 2402). In its Tribal Policy Statement, the NRC indicated that it recognizes the Federal Trust Relationship with Indian Tribes and will uphold its Trust Responsibility to Indian Tribes. In its policy statement, the NRC stated that it recognizes and is committed to a government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribes. The NRC also indicated that it would engage in timely consultations with Indian Tribes. The NRC is requesting OMB approval of a plan for a generic collection of information. The need and practicality of the collection can be evaluated, but the details of the specific individual collections will not be known until a later time. The information collected will include voluntary requests for information that would allow the NRC to more effectively involve Indian Tribes in the NRC's regulatory activities and to enable the NRC to plan the NRC's Tribal outreach and consultation activities.
