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, 
``Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or 
Control Over Special Nuclear 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 May 4, 2016, (81 FR 26836).
    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: 328 (326 reporting 
responses + 2 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 81.9
    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.
