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, 
``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

[[Page 6375]]

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 8, 2020 (85 FR 63593).
    1. The title of the information collection: 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 the Integrated Safety Analysis Summary 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: 1,214.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 37,050 
hours (31,557 hours reporting + 5,459 hours recordkeeping + 34 hours 
third-party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 70 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations establishes requirements for licensees to own, acquire, 
receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material. The 
information in the applications, reports, and records are used by the 
NRC to make licensing and or regulatory determinations concerning the 
use of special nuclear material.
