Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
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: Extension.
2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 327, Special
Nuclear Material (SNM) and Source Material (SM) Physical Inventory
Summary Report, and NUREG/BR-0096, Instructions and Guidance for
Completing Physical Inventory Summary Reports.
3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 327.
4. How often the collection is required: The frequency of reporting
corresponds to the frequency of required inventories, which depends
essentially on the strategic significance of the SNM covered by the
particular license. Certain licensees possessing strategic SNM are
required to report inventories every 2 months. Licensees possessing SNM
of moderate strategic significance must report every 6 months.
Licensees possessing SNM of low strategic significance must report
annually.
[[Page 53472]]
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Fuel facility licensees
possessing special nuclear material.
6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 23.
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 98 hours (an average of
approximately 4.25 hours per response for 23 responses).
9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: Not applicable.
10. Abstract: NRC Form 327 is submitted by fuel facility licensees
to account for special nuclear material. The data is used by NRC to
assess licensee material control and accounting programs and to confirm
the absence of (or detect the occurrence of) special nuclear material
theft or diversion. NUREG/BR-0096 provides specific guidance and
instructions for completing the form in accordance with the
requirements appropriate for a particular licensee.
