licensees submit about 10 forms each per year--150 forms annually.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons licensed to

10. Abstract: NRC and Agreement State licensees are required to
make inventory and accounting reports on DOE/NRC Forms 741 for certain
source or special nuclear material, or for transfer or receipt of 1
kilogram or more of source material. Licensees affected by 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 US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement. The
use of Forms 740M and 741, together with NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 6, 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.
