[[Page 50650]]


SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review and 
continued approval of information collection requirements currently 
approved by OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection:

--DOE/NRC Forms 741 & 741A, ``Nuclear Material Transaction Report,'' 
and NUREG/BR-0006, ``Instructions for completing forms 741, 741A, and 
740M''
--DOE/NRC Form 740M, ``Concise Note''

    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0003.
    3. How often the collection is required:

--DOE/NRC Form 741/741A: As occasioned by special nuclear material or 
source material transfers, receipts, or inventory changes that meet 
certain criteria.
--DOE/NRC Form 740M: When specified in Facility Attachments or 
Transitional Facility Attachments, or as necessary to inform the U. S. 
or the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of any qualifying 
statement or exception to any of the data contained in any of the other 
reporting forms required under the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement.

    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed to possess 
specified quantities of special nuclear material or source material, 
and licensees of facilities on the U. S. eligible list who have been 
notified in writing by the Commission that they are subject to 10 CFR 
Part 75.
    5. The number of annual respondents:

--DOE/NRC Form 741/741A: 20,000
--DOE/NRC Form 740M: 1,140

    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request:

--DOE/NRC Form 741/741A: 15,000
--DOE/NRC Form 740M: 855

    7. Abstract: NRC and Agreement State licensees are required to make 
inventory and accounting reports on DOE/NRC Form 741/741A for certain 
source or special nuclear material inventory changes, for transfers or 
receipts of special nuclear material, or for transfer or receipt of 1 
kilogram or more of source material. Licensees affected by 10 CFR Part 
75 and related sections of Parts 40, 50, 70, and 150 are required to 
submit DOE/NRC Form 740M to inform the U. S. or the IAEA of any 
qualifying statement or exception to any of the data contained in any 
of the other reporting forms required under the U.S./IAEA Safeguards 
Agreement. The use of Forms 740M, 741, and 741A, together with NUREG/
BR-0006, the instructions for completing the forms, enables NRC to 
collect, retrieve, analyze as necessary, and submit the data to IAEA to 
fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
    Submit comments that address the following by November 28, 1995.
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the NRC, including whether the 
information will have practical utility?
    2. Is the estimate of burden accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the collection of information be 
minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques?
