Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

[[Page 14848]]

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. 
The NRC previously published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day 
comment period on this information collection on December 18, 2007.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: DOE/NRC Form 740M, 
``Concise Note'' and NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 6, ``Instructions for 
Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports, (DOE/NRC Forms 741 and 
740M).''
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0057.
    4. The form number if applicable: DOE/NRC Form 740M.
    5. How often the collection is required: DOE/NRC Form 740M is 
requested as necessary to inform the U.S. or the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) of any qualifying statement or exception to any of 
the data contained in other reporting forms required under the US/IAEA 
Safeguards Agreement. On average, 15 licensees submit about 10 forms 
each per year, for a total of 150 forms annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons licensed to 
possess specified quantities of special nuclear material or source 
material, and licensees of facilities on the U.S. eligible list who 
have been notified in writing by the NRC that they are subject to Part 
75.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 150.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 15.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 113 hours (an average of .75 hours 
per response).
    10. Abstract: Licensees affected by Part 75 and related sections of 
Parts 40, 50, 70, and 150 are required to submit DOE/NRC 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 US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement. The use of Form 740M enables 
the NRC to collect, retrieve, and analyze, and submit the data to IAEA 
to fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
