B. Submitting Comments The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information in comment submissions that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission.

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, ``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 June 23, 2015, 80 FR 35995. 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: Standard Fingerprint Form, FD- 258. 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: 103,983. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,500 (300 NRC Licensees + 1,200 Agreement State Licensees). 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 138,570.2 hours (1,932.4 hours reporting + 85,644.2 hours recordkeeping + 50,993.6 hours 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 implementation of the security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how security is being implemented; (3) conduct training on the procedures and security plan; (4) conduct background investigations for those individuals permitted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material; (5) coordinate with LLEAs so the LLEAs would be better prepared to respond in an emergency; (6) conduct preplanning and coordination activities before shipping radioactive material; and (7) implement security measures for the protection of the 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, [[Page 65255]] training records, and documentation that certain activities have occurred. The NRC uses the information required by 10 CFR part 37 to fulfill its responsibilities to respond to, investigate, and correct situations that adversely affect public health and safety or the common defense and security. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of October 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Kristen Benney, Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
