request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: Requests to Agreement 
States for Information.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0029.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Thirty-Seven Agreement 
States who have signed Section 274(b) Agreements with the NRC.

the NRC in preparing responses to Congressional inquiries.
