In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved for three years. To request approval of information collections under this generic approval, the agency must do the following: 1) Unless an agency is using multiple modes of collection (e.g., paper forms and electronic submissions), provide a Generic Clearance Submission Template for each Instrument;  2) If the agency is using multiple modes of collection (e.g., paper forms and electronic submissions), the same Generic Clearance Submission Template may be used for both instruments; 3) each Generic Clearance Submission Template must be uploaded as a Supplementary document using a naming convention that allows the public to identify the associated instrument; 4) submit no more than five Generic Submission Templates with each request. In addition, NRC is reminded that this generic should only be used for collections that are voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial. All other collects of information should be submitted either as separate ICRs or, if appropriate, as emergency requests.

In order to maintain an effective national radioactive materials program, the NRC needs to coordinate in sharing information with the Agreement States. The Agreement States are asked on a one-time or as-needed basis to respond to a specific incident, to gather information on licensing and inspection practices or other technical information. The Agreement State comments are also solicited in the areas of proposed procedures, implementing guidance, and in the development of new and revised regulations and policies. The results of such information requests, which are authorized under Section 274(b) of the Atomic Energy Act, are utilized in part by the NRC in preparing responses to Congressional inquiries. This generic information collection would allow the NRC to meet its obligations under the Paperwork Reduction Act while eliminating unnecessary burden and delays. Obtaining a separate OMB clearance for each RCPD letter would not allow the agency to efficiently coordinate and share information with the Agreement States in maintaining a national radioactive materials program.

The annual burden decreased by 315.6 hours, from 3,690 hours to 3,374.4 hours. This change is due to the fact that exchange of information required for Agreement State participation in NRC-sponsored training courses was included in the last submission. At that time, OMB determined that the correspondence associated with NRC training did not represent an information collection. For that reason, training correspondence is no longer included in the burden totals. Correspondence associated with training was generally low burden but of high frequency, meaning that the burden decreased slightly but the number of annual responses decreased more dramatically. The number of annual responses has decreased from 738 to 421.8 due to the removal of the training responses associated with training activities. The last submission included 540 responses associated with training activities, whereas the current submission includes 0 responses associated with training activities. In this submission, the NRC has used a burden estimate of 8 hours per response for all Agreement State responses. The previous estimate was 5 hours, based on the average response time to respond to training correspondence and other information requests. The NRC staff feels that 8 hours better reflects Agreement State effort in responding to information requests, because the training correspondence was generally of lower burden than other requests. Finally, the NRC is seeking to revise this information collection to be 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. To account for all Agreement State burden over the three-year clearance period, NRC has tripled the annual burden to 10,123.2 hours and 1265.4 responses (an increase of 6,433.2 hours and 527.4 responses). Note that this increase of 6,433 hours of burden is mostly due to a change from accounting for the annual burden associated with the collection to accounting for three years of burden as a generic collection.
