NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
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 the Office of Management and Budget (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). The NRC
seeks to combine two information collections previously approved under
OMB clearance numbers 3150-0003 and 3150-0057.
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: ``DOE/NRC Forms 741 and
[[Page 71702]]
740M (Nuclear Material Transaction Report and Concise Note) and
Associated Instructions (NUREG/BR-0006)''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0003.
3. How often the collection is required: Form 741 is submitted when
specified events occur (nuclear material or source material transfers,
receipts, or inventory changes). Form 740M is submitted as necessary to
inform the United States (U.S.) or the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) of any qualifying statement or exception to any of the
data contained in any of the other reporting forms required under the
U.S./IAEA Safeguards Agreement.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed to possess
specified quantities of special nuclear material or source material,
any licensee who imports or exports source material, and licensees of
facilities on the U.S. eligible list who have been notified in writing
by the Commission that they are subject to Part 75.
5. The number of annual respondents: DOE/NRC Form 741 = 398. DOE/
NRC Form 740M = 15.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 45,926.
7. Abstract: NRC is required to collect nuclear material
transaction information for domestic safeguards use and to make it
available to the IAEA. Licensees use Form 741 to make inventory and
accounting reports for certain source or special nuclear material, or
for transfer or receipt of 1 kilogram or more of source material.
Licensees use 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 U.S./IAEA Safeguards
Agreement. These forms enable NRC to collect, retrieve, analyze, and
submit the data to IAEA to fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
Submit, by February 19, 2008, 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?
