request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized

Regulations (10 CFR), require the submission of reports following 
specified events, such as the theft or unlawful diversion of licensed

under 10 CFR 150.17(b) must be submitted annually by certain licensees.
    5. Who will be required or asked to respond: Agreement State 
licensees authorized to possess source or special nuclear material at 
certain types of facilities, or at any one time and location in greater
