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: NRC Form 327, ``Special 
Nuclear Material (SNM) and Source Material (SM) Physical Inventory 
Summary Report;'' and NUREG/BR-0096, ``Instructions and Guidance for 
Completing Physical Inventory.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0139.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 327.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Certain 
licensees possessing strategic SNM are required to report inventories 
every 6 months. Licensees possessing SNM of moderate strategic 
significance must report every 9 months. Licensees possessing SNM of 
low strategic significance must report annually, except one licensee 
must report its dynamic inventories every 2 months and a static 
inventory on an annual basis.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Fuel facility 
licensees possessing special nuclear material, i.e., enriched uranium, 
plutonium or U-233.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 26.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 6.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 104 hours (4 hours per 
response x 26 responses).
    10. Abstract: NRC Form 327 is submitted by certain fuel facility 
licensees to account for special nuclear material. The data is used by 
the NRC to assess licensee material control and accounting programs and 
to confirm the absence of (or detect the occurrence of) SNM theft or 
diversion. The NUREG/BR-0096 provides guidance and instructions for 
completing the form in accordance with the requirements appropriate for 
a particular licensee.

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 16th day of September, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
