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, 
``Material Control and Accounting 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 21, 2017 (82 FR 28361).

are submitted as events occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons licensed under 
part 70 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), who 
possess and use certain forms and quantities of special nuclear 
material (SNM).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 173 (17 reporting

    10. Abstract: Part 74 establishes requirements for material control 
and accounting of SNM, and specific performance-based regulations for 
licensees authorized to possess, use, and produce strategic SNM, and 
SNM 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 SNM 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.
