Requests to Agreement States and Non-Agreement States for Information

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 allows 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.
