II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``10 
CFR part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material.'' 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 June 1, 2017 (82 FR 25343).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 70, 
``Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0009.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Required 
reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events 
occur. Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at 
any time. Generally, renewal applications are submitted every 10 years, 
although the Commission has allowed longer periods for major fuel cycle 
facilities; updates of

[[Page 45072]]

the Integrated Safety Analysis are submitted annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and 
holders of specific and General Licenses to receive title to, own, 
acquire, deliver, receive, possess, use, or initially transfer special 
nuclear material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,620.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 606.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 89,222 
hours (81,781 hours reporting + 7,371 hours recordkeeping + 70 hours 
third-party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 70 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), establishes requirements for licensees to own, 
acquire, receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material. 
The information in the applications, reports, and records is used by 
the NRC to make licensing and or regulatory determinations concerning 
the use of special nuclear material.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of September, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
