We are required to publish this notice in the                         **Federal Register**                         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:*                         DOE/NRC Form 740M, “Concise Note” and NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 7, “Instructions for Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports, (DOE/NRC Forms 741 and 740M).”                    

                        2.                         *Current OMB approval number:*                         3150-0057.
