NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 
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: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 241, ``Report 
of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of Exclusive 
Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters''.
    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, areas of exclusive Federal 
jurisdiction, or offshore waters. 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, areas of exclusive Federal 
jurisdiction, or offshore waters under the general license in 10 CFR 
150.20.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: The NRC annually 
receives approximately 4600 responses from Agreement States associated 
with NRC Form 241. These responses include 200 initial reciprocity 
requests on NRC Form 241, and 1100 revisions and 3300 clarifications of 
the information submitted on the forms.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200 respondents.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1200 hours.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 
applies:
    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, areas of 
exclusive Federal jurisdiction, or offshore waters, under the general 
license in Section 150.20, is required to file four copies of NRC Form 
241, ``Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of 
Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters,'' and four 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.
    A copy of the final supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (lower 
level), Washington, DC. OMB clearance requests are available at the NRC 
worldwide web site (http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/OMB/index.html). The 
document will be available on the NRC home page site for 60 days after 
the signature date of this notice.
    Comments and questions should be directed to the OMB reviewer 
listed below by June 9, 1999. Comments received after this date will be 
considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration 
cannot be given to comments received after this date.
