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

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

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.

utility?

    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
