Other reports are submitted as events occur.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons licensed under

control and accounting of special nuclear material, and specific 
performance-based regulations for licensees authorized to possess and 
use strategic special nuclear material, or to possess and use, or 
produce, special nuclear material of low strategic significance. The 
information is used by the NRC to make licensing and regulatory

nuclear material and to satisfy obligations of the United States to the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Submission or retention of 
the information is mandatory for persons subject to the requirements.
