Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. 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
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 facilities 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: Seven, one of which perform
the reporting and recordkeeping and the other six perform the
recordkeeping only. The NRC-licensed facilities selected for inspection
will be reporting or updating design information. This one facility and
the six 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: 2,800 (.2 hours for reporting and 2,800 hours for
recordkeeping [400 hours per recordkeeper]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 75 establishes requirements to implement
the agreement between the United States and the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA). Under that agreement, NRC is required to collect
information and make it available to the IAEA. Currently, the IAEA has
selected and is inspecting two NRC-licensed facilities pursuant to 10
CFR 75.41.
Submit, by May 23, 2005 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?
