II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently

[[Page 3365]]

submitted a request for renewal of an existing collection of 
information to OMB for review entitled, ``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.'' 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 September 22, 2016 (81 FR 
65412).
    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 six months. Licensees possessing SNM of moderate strategic 
significance must report every nine months. Licensees possessing SNM of 
low strategic significance must report annually, except one licensee 
must report its dynamic inventories every two months and a static 
inventory on an annual basis.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Fuel facility 
licensees possessing SNM, 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. An estimate of the total 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 SNM. The data is used by NRC to assess 
licensee material control and accounting programs and to confirm the 
absence of (or detect the occurrence of) SNM theft or diversion. NUREG/
BR-0096 provides guidance and instructions for completing the form in 
accordance with the requirements appropriate for a particular licensee.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of January 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
