[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 29 (Monday, February 12, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 5412] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-2986] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to OMB and soliciation of public comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review or continued approval of information collections 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: 10 CFR Part 73--Physical Protection of Plants and Materials 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0002. 3. How often the collection is required: On occasion. Required reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. 4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons who possess, use, import, export, transport, or deliver to a carrier for transport, special nuclear material. 5. The number of annual responses: 68,643. 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 410,602 hours. 7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 73 prescribes requirements for establishment and maintenance of a physical protection system with capabilities for protection of special nuclear material at fixed sites and in transit and of plants in which special nuclear material is used. The revision reflects an increase in burden because of requirements for the physical fitness, day firing, and vehicle bomb rulemakings that were previously approved by OMB. There was also an adjustment to the burden because of the elimination of the requirement to have licensees submit quarterly log reports. Submit by April 12, 1996, comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate 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 information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?
