II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted an extension of four 
collections of information to OMB for review entitled, ``DOE/NRC Form 
740M, Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction 
Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; DOE/NRC Form 742C, 
Physical Inventory Listing.'' The NRC hereby informs potential 
respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on October 28, 2016, 81 FR 75167.
    1. The title of the information collection: DOE/NRC Form 740M, 
Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; 
DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical 
Inventory Listing.
    2. OMB approval numbers:

DOE/NRC Form 740M: 3150-0057.
DOE/NRC Form 741: 3150-0003.

    4. The form number if applicable: DOE/NRC Forms 740M, 741, 742, and 
742C.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: DOE/NRC Form 
741, Nuclear Material Transaction Reports will be collected whenever 
nuclear material is shipped or received into the Material Balance Area; 
DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report will be collected on an 
annual basis; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing will be 
collected on an annual basis; DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note Forms are 
used when needed.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Any licensee who 
ships, receives, or otherwise undergoes an inventory change of nuclear 
material is required to submit a DOE/NRC Form 741 to document the 
change. Additional information regarding these transactions shall be 
submitted through Form 740M, with Safeguards Information identified and 
handled in accordance with Sec.  73.21 of Title of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Protection of Safeguards Information: 
Performance requirements.''
    Any licensee who had possessed in the previous reporting period, at 
any one time and location, nuclear material in a quantity totaling one 
gram or more shall complete DOE/NRC Form 742. In addition, each 
licensee, Federal or State, who is authorized to possess, at any one 
time or location, one kilogram of foreign obligated source material, is 
required to file with the NRC an annual statement of source material 
inventory which is foreign obligated.
    Any licensee, who had possessed in the previous reporting period, 
at any one time and location, special nuclear material in a quantity 
totaling one gram or more shall complete DOE/NRC Form 742C.

DOE/NRC Form 742: 1,260
DOE/NRC Form 742C: 1,440

    10. Abstract: Persons licensed to possess specified quantities of 
nuclear material currently report inventory and transaction of material 
to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System via the DOE/
NRC Forms: DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear 
Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; 
DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing. The NRC uses these forms 
to collect, retrieve, analyze, and maintain relevant inventory data. 
The NRC is not submitting the information collections
