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,
``Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA
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 March 15, 2022 (87 FR 14585).
1. The title of the information collection: Part 75 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Safeguards on Nuclear
Material, Implementation of US/IAEA 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 required to
report information required by the U.S. Additional Protocol. Licensed
possessors of nuclear material outside facilities in the U.S. Caribbean
Territories.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 22 (12 reporting
responses + 10 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 3,234.
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 75, 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 nuclear
material. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include
approximately 6 entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories
Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will provide
reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities under the
U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366),
permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, 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. 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 responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.
