NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on January 2, 2008.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 73--
``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials.''
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0002.
4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required: On occasion, with the
exception of the initial submittal of revised Security Plans,
Safeguards Contingency Plans, and Security Training and Qualification
Plans. Required reports are submitted and evaluated as events occur.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactor
licensees, licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 or 52 who possess, use,
import, export, transport, or deliver to a carrier for transport,
special nuclear material; Category I fuel facilities; Category II and
III facilities; research and test reactors; and 262 other nuclear
materials licensees.
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 86,264 (85,880
plus 384 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 384.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 578,863 hours (85,441 reporting
[approximately 1 hour per response] and 493,422 recordkeeping [1,285
hours per recordkeeper]).
10. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 73 prescribe
requirements to establish and maintain a physical protection system and
security organization with capabilities for protection of: (1) Special
nuclear material (SNM) at fixed sites, (2) SNM in transit, and (3)
plants in which SNM is used. 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, and licensee possession and use of special nuclear
material is in compliance with license and regulatory requirements.
