NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2010-0332]

Comment Request

AGENCY: 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: DOE/NRC Form 740M, 
``Concise Note'' and NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 7, ``Instructions for 
Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports, (DOE/NRC Forms 741 and 
740M).''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0057.
    3. 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.
    4. Who is 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.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 15.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 113 hours.
    7. 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.

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?
