NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: DOE/NRC Form 741, 
Nuclear Material Transaction Report and NUREG/BR-0006, Instructions for 
Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports.
    3. The form number if applicable: DOE/NRC Form 741.
    4. How often the collection is required: As occasioned by special 
nuclear material or source material transfers, receipts or inventory 
changes that meet certain criteria. Licensees range from not submitting 
any forms to submitting over 5,000 forms in a year.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons licensed to 
process specified quantities of special nuclear material or source 
material, and licensees of facilities on the U.S. eligible list who 
have been notified in writing by the Commission that they are subject 
to Part 75.
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 36,500 (14,600 
NRC licensees and 21,900 Agreement State licensees).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 400 (160 NRC 
licensees and 240 Agreement State licensees).
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 45,625 hours (18,250 NRC licensees 
and 27,375 Agreement State licensees).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 
applies: N/A.
    10. Abstract: NRC and Agreement State licensees are required to 
make inventory and accounting reports on DOE/NRC Form 741 for certain 
source or special nuclear material, or for transfer or receipt of 1 
kilogram or more of source material. The use of DOE/NRC Form 740M, and 
741, together with NUREG/BR-0006, the instructions for completing the 
forms, enables NRC to collect, retrieve, analyze as necessary, and 
submit the data to IAEA to fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
