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: Revision.

``Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and 
in Offshore Waters under Section 274''.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required:  10 CFR 150.16(b), 
150.17(c), and 150.19(c) require the submission of reports following 
specified events, such as the theft or unlawful diversion of licensed 
radioactive material. The source material inventory reports required 
under 10 CFR 150.17(b) must be submitted annually by certain licensees.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report:  Agreement State 
licensees authorized to possess source or special nuclear material at 
certain types of facilities, or at any one time and location in greater 
than specified amounts.
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 12.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 9 Agreement State

regulations for persons in Agreement States. Part 150 also defines 
activities in Agreement States and in offshore waters over which NRC 
regulatory authority continues, including certain information 
collection requirements. The information is needed to permit NRC to 
make reports to other governments and the International Atomic Energy 
Agency in accordance with international agreements. The information is 
also used to carry out NRC's safeguards and inspection programs.
