SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0123.
3. How often the collection is required: Submission is a one-time
requirement which has been completed by all current licensees. However,
licensees may submit amendments or revisions to the plans as necessary.
In addition, specified inventory and material status reports are
required annually or semi-annually. Other reports are submitted as
events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed under 10
CFR Part 70 who possess and use certain forms and quantities of Special
Nuclear Material (SNM).
5. The number of annual respondents: 19.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: An annual total of 8,589 hours (989 hours for reporting and
7,600 hours for recordkeeping). The average annual burden per
respondent for reporting is 47 hours. The average annual burden per
recordkeeping for the 110 record keepers is 61 hours.

information is used by the NRC to make licensing

the United States to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Submission
or retention of the information is mandatory for persons subject to the
