-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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: 10 CFR part 73, 
``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0002.
    3. 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.
    4. Who is 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; 200 state contacts; and 262 
other nuclear materials licensees.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 580.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 508,133 hours (35,705 reporting plus 10,280 third-party 
notification plus 462,148 recordkeeping).
    7. 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.
    Submit, by July 15, 2011, 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?
