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 invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register 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: NRC Form 327, ``Special
Nuclear Material (SNM) and Source Material Physical Inventory Summary
Report'' and NUREG/BR-0096, ``Instructions and Guidance for Completing
Physical Inventory Summary Reports.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0139.
3. How often the collection is required: Certain licensees
possessing strategic SNM are required to report inventories every 6
months. Licensees possessing SNM of moderate strategic significance
must report every 9 months. Licensees possessing SNM of low strategic
significance must report annually, except three licensees must report
their dynamic inventories every 2 months and a static inventory on an
annual basis.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Fuel facility licensees
possessing special nuclear material.
5. The number of annual respondents: 10.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 124 hours (4 hours per response x 31 responses).
7. Abstract: NRC Form 327 is submitted by fuel facility licensees
to account for special nuclear material. The data is used by NRC to
assess licensee material control and accounting programs and to confirm
the absence of (or detect the occurrence of) SNM theft or diversion.
NUREG/BR-0096 provides specific guidance and instructions for
completing the form in accordance with the requirements appropriate for
a particular licensee.
Submit, by September 7, 2010, 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?
