II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 71, 
Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0008.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
Application for package certification may be made at any time. Required 
reports are collected and evaluated on a continuous basis as events 
occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All NRC specific 
licensees who place byproduct, source, or special nuclear material into 
transportation, and all persons who wish to apply for NRC approval of 
package designs for use in such transportation.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 660.1 responses.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 250 respondents.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 25,593.9 hours.
    10. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 71 establish 
requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, and 
transportation of licensed material, and prescribe procedures, 
standards, and requirements for approval by NRC of packaging and 
shipping procedures for fissile material and for quantities of licensed 
material in excess of Type A quantities. The NRC collects information 
pertinent to 10 CFR part 71 for three reasons: To issue a package 
approval; to ensure that any incidents or package degradation or defect 
are appropriately captured, evaluated and if necessary, corrected to 
minimize future potential occurrences; and to ensure that all 
activities are completed using an NRC-approved quality assurance 
program.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of September 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
