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).
    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: OMB 3150-0055.
    3. How often the collection is required: Reporting is done when 
specified events occur. Recordkeeping for nuclear material accounting 
and control information is done in accordance with specific 
instructions.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Licensees of facilities on 
the U.S. eligible list who have been selected by the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for reporting or recordkeeping activities.
    5. The number of annual respondents: Six, two of which perform both 
reporting and recordkeeping and four of which perform recordkeeping 
only.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 2,400 (6 Respondents x 400 hours per response).
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 75 requires selected licensees to permit 
inspections by IAEA representatives, give immediate notice to the NRC 
in specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear 
material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts 
of nuclear material. These licensees will also follow written material 
accounting and control procedures, although actual reporting of 
transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be done through 
the U.S. State system (Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards 
System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150-0003, 3150-0004, 
3150-0057, and 3150-0058.) The NRC needs this information to implement 
its responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.
    Submit, by March 31, 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?
