    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 75, 
``Safeguards on Nuclear Material--Implementation of US/IAEA 
Agreement.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0055.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Selected 
licensees are required to provide reports of nuclear material inventory 
and flow for selected facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards 
Agreement, permit inspections by International Atomic Energy Agency 
Agreement (IAEA) inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors 
under the Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in 
specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear 
material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts 
of nuclear material. Reporting is done when specified events occur. 
Recordkeeping for nuclear material accounting and control information

    10. Abstract: Part 75 of 10 CFR requires selected licensees to 
provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for selected 
facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement, permit inspections 
by IAEA inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors under the 
Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified 
situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and 
give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear 
material. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include 
approximately 25 entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean 
Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will 
provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities 
under the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement 
(INFCIRC/366), permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, give immediate 
notice to the NRC in specified situations involving the possibility of 
loss of nuclear material, and give notice for imports and exports of 
specified amounts of nuclear material. Licensees will also follow 
written material accounting and control procedures, although actual 
reporting of transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be 
done through the US State system (Nuclear Materials Management and 
Safeguards System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150-0003, 
3150-0004, 3150-0057, and 3150-0058). The NRC needs this information to 
implement its responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.

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?
