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, ``10
CFR Part 37, Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2
Quantities of Radioactive 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 August 10, 2022, 87 FR 48697.
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 37,
``Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of
Radioactive Material''.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0214.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 755, ``Advance
Notification to the NRC of Shipments of Category 1 Quantities of
Radioactive Material''.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time for
initial compliance notifications and fingerprints for the reviewing
officials; and as needed for implementation notifications, event
notifications, notifications of shipments of radioactive material, and
fingerprinting of new employees.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees that are
authorized to possess and use category 1 or category 2 quantities of
radioactive material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 101,479 responses
(4,704 Reporting + 1,400 Recordkeeping + 95,375 Third-Party
Disclosure).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5,600 respondents
(1,140 Agreement State Licensees + 260 NRC licensees + 4,200
individuals making personal history disclosures under 37.23(d)).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
[[Page 69056]]
request: 74,043 hours (1,557 reporting + 23,989 recordkeeping + 48,497
third-party disclosure).
10. Abstract: Part 37 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), contains security requirements for the use of
category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. Licensees
are required to: (1) Develop procedures for the implementation of the
security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how
security is being implemented; (3) implement security measures for the
protection of the radioactive material; (4) conduct training on the
procedures and security plan; (5) conduct background investigations for
those individuals permitted unescorted access to category 1 or category
2 quantities of radioactive material; (6) coordinate with Local Law
Enforcement Agencies (LLEAs) so the LLEAs would be better prepared to
respond in an emergency; and (7) conduct coordination activities before
shipping category 2 radioactive material, and preplanning and
coordination activities before shipping category 1 radioactive
material. Licensees are required to promptly report any attempted or
actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees are
required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background
investigation records, training records, and documentation associated
with implementation of the security program. The NRC uses the
information required by 10 CFR part 37 to fulfill its responsibilities
to respond to, investigate, and correct situations that have the
potential to adversely affect public health and safety or the common
defense and security.
