Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 741, 
Nuclear Material Transaction Report and NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 7, 
``Instructions for Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0003.
    3. How often the collection is required: Form 741 is submitted when 
specified events occur (nuclear materials or source material transfers, 
receipts, or inventory changes).
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed to possess 
specified quantities of special nuclear material or source material. 
Any licensee who ships, receives, or otherwise undergoes an inventory 
change of special nuclear or source material is required to submit a 
Form 741 to document the change.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 340.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 12,500.
    7. Abstract: NRC is required to collect nuclear material 
transaction information for domestic safeguards use and make it 
available to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Licensees 
use Form 741 to make inventory and accounting reports for certain 
source or special nuclear material, or for transfer or receipt of 1 
kilogram or more of course material. This form enables the NRC to 
collect, retrieve, analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to fulfill its 
reporting responsibilities.
    Submit, by February 25, 2014 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?
