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

Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0123.
3. How often the collection is required: Submission of fundamental
material control plans is a one-time requirement which has been
completed by all current licensees as required. However, licensees may
submit amendments or revisions to the plans as necessary. In addition,
specified inventory and material status reports are required annually
or semi-annually. Other reports are submitted as events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed under part

5. The number of annual respondents: 18.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: The total number of annual burden hours is 9,914 hours
(9,005 hours for recordkeeping and 909 hours for reporting).
7. Abstract: Part 74 establishes requirements for material control
and accounting of SNM, and specific performance-based regulations for
licensees authorized to possess, use, and produce strategic special
nuclear material, and special nuclear material of moderate strategic
significance and low strategic significance. The information is used by
the NRC to make licensing and regulatory determinations concerning
material accounting of special nuclear material and to satisfy
obligations of the United States to the International Atomic Energy
Agency. Submission or retention of the information is mandatory for
persons subject to the requirements.

the information to be collected?
