II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 11,
Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or
Control over Special Nuclear Material.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0062.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Employees (including
applicants for employment), contractors, and consultants of NRC
licensees and contractors whose activities involve access to, or
control over, special nuclear material at either fixed sites or for
transportation activities.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 294.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 73.4.
10. Abstract: The NRC's regulations in part 11 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establish requirements for access
to special nuclear material, and the criteria and procedures for
resolving questions concerning the eligibility of individuals to
receive special nuclear material access authorization. The specific
part 11 requirements covered under this OMB clearance include requests
for exemptions to part 11 requirements, amendments to security plans
that require incumbents to have material access authorizations, access
authorization cancellations. In addition, licensees must keep records
of the names and access authorization numbers of certain individuals
assigned to shipments of special nuclear material. The information
required by 10 CFR part 11 is needed to establish control over and
maintain records of who is properly authorized to safeguard and have
access to special nuclear material. Not knowing this information could
cause harm to the public and national security.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection
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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of April 2016.
