AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 August 2, 2013 (78 FR 47009).
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
2. 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.''
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0139.
4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 327.
5. How often the collection is required: Certain licensees
possessing
[[Page 70354]]
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 two licensees must report their dynamic
inventories every 2 months and a static inventory on an annual basis.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Fuel facility licensees
possessing special nuclear material, i.e., enriched uranium, plutonium
or U-233.
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 35.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 140 hours (4 hours per response x
35 responses).
10. 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.
