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 notice 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 Cyber Security Plans,
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 part 50 or 52 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), who possess, use, import, export,
transport, or deliver to a carrier for transport, special nuclear
material; actively decommissioning reactor licensees, Category I fuel
facilities; Category II and III facilities; non-power reactors
(research and test reactors); other nuclear materials licensees; and
state and Tribal contacts.
5. The number of annual respondents: 581.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 543,280 (21,255 hours reporting + 486,535 hours
recordkeeping + 35,490 hours third party disclosure).
7. Abstract: The NRC's 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.

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?
