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,
``Information Collection: Safeguards on Nuclear Material--
Implementation of United States/International Atomic Energy Agency
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 26, 2020 (85 FR 17100).
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 of
facilities on the US eligible list who have been selected by the IAEA
for reporting and/or recordkeeping activities.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 32 (2 reporting
responses plus 30 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 30.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 4,227
hours.
10. Abstract: Part 75 of 10 CFR, 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 25 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 US 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.
Dated: July 9, 2020.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David C. Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
