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, 
``Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA 
Agreement.'' 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 March 15, 2022 (87 FR 14585).
    1. The title of the information collection: Part 75 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Safeguards on Nuclear 
Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0055.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Selected 
licensees are required to provide reports of nuclear material inventory 
and flow for selected facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards 
Agreement, permit inspections by International Atomic Energy Agency 
Agreement (IAEA) inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors 
under the Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in 
specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear 
material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts 
of nuclear material. Reporting is done when specified events occur. 
Recordkeeping for nuclear material accounting and control information 
is done in accordance with specific instructions.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees required to 
report information required by the U.S. Additional Protocol. Licensed 
possessors of nuclear material outside facilities in the U.S. Caribbean 
Territories.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 22 (12 reporting 
responses + 10 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 3,234.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 75, requires selected licensees to 
provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for selected 
facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement, permit inspections 
by IAEA inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors under the 
Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified 
situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and 
give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear 
material. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include 
approximately 6 entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories 
Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will provide 
reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities under the 
U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366), 
permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, give immediate notice to the NRC 
in specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear 
material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts 
of nuclear material. These licensees will also follow written material 
accounting and control procedures, although actual reporting of 
transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be done through 
the U.S. State system (Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards 
System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150-0003, 3150-0004, 
3150-0057, and 3150-0058). The NRC needs this information to implement 
its responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.
