NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
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 75--
Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0055.

[[Page 6549]]

    3. How often the collection is required: Installation information 
is submitted upon written notification from the Commission. Changes are 
submitted as they occur. Nuclear material accounting and control 
information is submitted in accordance with specified instructions.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All persons licensed or 
certified by the Commission or Agreement States to possess source or 
special nuclear material at an installation specified on the U. S. 
eligible list as determined by the Secretary of State or his designee 
and filed with the Commission, as well as holders of construction 
permits and persons who intend to receive source material.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 6. One reporting and 
recordkeeping and five others recordkeeping only. The NRC-licensed 
facility selected for inspection will be reporting design information. 
This facility and the five facilities selected pursuant to a separate 
protocol will maintain transfer and material balance records, but 
reporting to the IAEA will be through the U.S. State system (Nuclear 
Materials Management and Safeguards System).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 2,400 (.2 hours for reporting and 2,400 hours for 
recordkeeping).
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 75 establishes a system of nuclear 
material accounting and control to implement the agreement between the 
United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Under 
that agreement, NRC is required to collect the information and make it 
available to the IAEA. Currently, the IAEA has selected and is 
inspecting one NRC-licensed facility pursuant to 10 CFR 75.41.
    Submit, by April 15, 2002, 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?
