## 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 revision 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 April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16862).                

                    1.                     *The title of the information collection:*10 CFR part 75, “Information Collection: Safeguards on Nuclear Material—Implementation of United States/International Atomic Energy Agency 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 or recordkeeping activities.                

                    7.                     *The estimated number of annual responses:*                     32 (2 reporting responses + 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:*                     4,227.1 hours (0.4 reporting hours + 4226.7 hours recordkeeping).                

                    10.                     *Abstract:*                     Part 75 of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (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                           ( print page 52335)                        nuclear material. This collection is being updated to include approximately 25 entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). 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 U.S. 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 international obligations under the                     *U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366).*
