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

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: 10 CFR Part 70--
Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material.
    3. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    4. How often the collection is required: Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. 
Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at any 
time. Generally, renewal applications are submitted every ten years and 
for major fuel cycle facilities updates of the safety demonstration 
section are submitted every two years. Nuclear material control and 
accounting information is submitted in accordance with specified 
instructions.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and 
holders of specific NRC licenses to receive title to, own, acquire, 
deliver, receive, possess, use, or initially transfer special nuclear 
material.
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 1,256 (655 
responses plus 601 recordkeepers).
    7. An estimate of the number of annual respondents: 372
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 89,465 (81,765 reporting hours + 
7,700 recordkeeping hours) or an average of 125 hours per response 
(81,765 reporting burden hours/655 responses) and an average of 13 
hours per recordkeeper (7,700 recordkeeping burden hours/601 
recordkeepers).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 04-13 
applies: N/A.

    10. Abstract: Part 70 establishes requirements for licenses to own, 
acquire, receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material. 
The information in the applications, reports, and records is used by 
NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations concerning 
the use of special nuclear material. The revised estimate of burden 
reflects the addition of requirements for documentation for termination 
or transfer of licensed activities, and modifying licenses.
