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 11, 
Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or 
Control over Special Nuclear Material.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0062.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Employees (including 
applicants for employment), contractors, and consultants of NRC 
licensees and contractors whose activities involve access to, or 
control over, special nuclear material at either fixed sites or for 
transportation activities.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 294.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 73.4.
    10. Abstract: The NRC's regulations in part 11 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establish requirements for access 
to special nuclear material, and the criteria and procedures for 
resolving questions concerning the eligibility of individuals to 
receive special nuclear material access authorization. The specific 
part 11 requirements covered under this OMB clearance include requests 
for exemptions to part 11 requirements, amendments to security plans 
that require incumbents to have material access authorizations, access 
authorization cancellations. In addition, licensees must keep records 
of the names and access authorization numbers of certain individuals 
assigned to shipments of special nuclear material. The information 
required by 10 CFR part 11 is needed to establish control over and 
maintain records of who is properly authorized to safeguard and have 
access to special nuclear material. Not knowing this information could 
cause harm to the public and national security.

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 28th day of April 2016.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
