NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 70--
Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0009.
3. How often the collection is required: 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. Renewal applications are submitted every five years. Applications
for renewal for certain major fuel cycle facilities are submitted every
ten years, with updates of the safety demonstration section submitted
every two years. Nuclear material control and accounting information is
submitted in accordance with specified instructions. Nuclear
criticality safety training program information pursuant to DG-3008 is
submitted with the application or renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders
of specific NRC licenses to receive title to, own, acquire, deliver,
receive, possess, use, or initially transfer special nuclear material.
5. The number of annual responses: 1,138.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 81,575 (an average of approximately 67.3 hours per response
for applications and reports, plus approximately 23.6 hours per
recordkeeper).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 70 establishes requirements for licenses
to own, acquire, receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear
material. Draft Regulatory Guide DG-3008 provides guidance on an
acceptable nuclear criticality safety training program. The information
in the applications, reports
[[Page 9581]]
and records is used by NRC to make licensing and other regulatory
determinations concerning the use of special nuclear material. The
revised estimate of burden reflects an increase primarily because of
the addition of requirements for documentation for termination or
transfer of licensed activities.
Submit, by April 27, 1998, comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
