Agreement States are asked on a
one-time or as-needed basis, e.g., to respond to a specific
incident, to gather information on licensing and inspection
practices and other technical statistical information. The results
of such information requests, which are authorized under Section

preparing responses to Congressional inquires. Agreement State
comments are also solicited in the areas of proposed procedures and
policy development.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
