requirement which has been completed by all current licensees. However,
licensees may submit amendments or revisions to the plans as necessary.
In addition, specified inventory and material status reports are
required annually or semi-annually. Other reports are submitted as
events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed under 10
CFR 70 who possess and use certain forms and quantities of Special
Nuclear Material (SNM).
5. The number of annual respondents: 19.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: An annual total of 8,589 hours (989 hours for reporting and
7,600 hours for recordkeeping). The average annual burden per
respondent for reporting is 47 hours. The average annual burden per
recordkeeping for the 110 record keepers is 61 hours.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 74 establishes requirements for material
control and accounting of SNM, and specific performance-based
regulations for licensees authorized to possess, use and produce
strategic special nuclear material, and special nuclear material of
moderate strategic significance and low strategic significance. The
information is used by the NRC to make licensing and regulatory
determinations concerning material control and accounting of special
nuclear material and to satisfy obligations of the United States to the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Submission or retention of
the information is mandatory for persons subject to the requirements.
Submit, by September 5, 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?
