## 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, “Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material.” 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 June 21, 2017 (82 FR 28361).                          ( print page 48282)

*2. OMB approval number:*                     3150-0123.

                    5.                     *How often the collection is required or requested:*                     Submission of fundamental material control plans is a one-time requirement which has been completed by all current licensees as required. However, licensees may submit amendments or revisions to the plans as necessary. Reports are submitted as events occur.                

                    6.                     *Who will be required or asked to respond:*                     Persons licensed under part 70 of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (10 CFR), who possess and use certain forms and quantities of special nuclear material (SNM).                

                    7.                     *The estimated number of annual responses:*                     173 (17 reporting responses + 156 recordkeepers).

                    10.                     *Abstract:*                     Part 74 establishes requirements for material control and accounting of SNM, and specific performance-based regulations for licensees authorized to possess, use, and produce strategic SNM, and SNM of moderate strategic significance and low strategic significance. The information is used by the NRC to make licensing and regulatory determinations concerning material accounting of SNM and to satisfy obligations of the United States to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Submission or retention of the information is mandatory for persons subject to the requirements.                

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of October 2017.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
