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 73--
``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0002.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion. Revised
Security Plans are submitted as required and reports are submitted and
evaluated as events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactor
licensees, licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 or 52.
5. The number of annual respondents: 384.
6. The number of annual responses: 78,094.
7. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 524,820 hours (50,212 reporting [0.64 hours per response]
and 474,608 recordkeeping [approximately 1,236 hours per record

8. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 73 prescribe
requirements to establish and maintain a physical protection system and
security organization. The objective is to ensure that activities
involving special nuclear material are consistent with interests of
common defense and security and that these activities do not constitute
an unreasonable risk to public health and safety. The information in
the reports and records submitted by licensees is used by the NRC staff
to ensure that the health and safety of the public and the environment
are protected.

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?
