###### Nuclear Regulatory Commission

# AGENCY:

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). 

# ACTION:

Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (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:*                         OMB No. 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. Generally, renewal applications are submitted every ten years and for major fuel cycle facilities updates of the safety demonstration section are submitted every two years. Nuclear material control and accounting information is submitted in accordance with specified instructions.                     

                        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 respondents:*                         1,256 (655 plus 601 recordkeepers).                     

                        6.                         *The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request:*                         89,465 (81,765 reporting hours + 7,700 recordkeeping hours) or an average of 125 hours per response (81,765 reporting burden hours/655 responses) and an average of 13 hours per recordkeeper (7,700 recordkeeping burden hours/601 recordkeepers).                     

                        7.                         *Abstract:*                         Part 70 establishes requirements for licenses to own, acquire, receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material. The information in the applications, reports, 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 the addition of requirements for documentation for termination or transfer of licensed activities, and modifying licenses.                     

Submit, by July 17, 2007, 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?                               ( print page 28083)    

4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?
