Terms of Clearance:
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.

Abstract:
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.

Short Statement:
The total burden over the three-year clearance period decreased from 10,123 to 8,424 hours. During the last clearance period, the NRC staff sent letters to Agreement States that represented approximately 8,000 hours of burden. The current estimate of 8,424 hours is consistent with past usage of this clearance and is in line with staff expectations about the number of letters to be issued in the next three years.
