NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2008-0359]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; 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 July 7, 2008.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 74--
Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0123.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required: Submission is a one-time 
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.
    6. 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).
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 21.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 19.
    9. An estimate of the total 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.
    10. 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.
