II. Background Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted an extension of four collections of information to OMB for review entitled, ``DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing.'' 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 October 28, 2016, 81 FR 75167. 1. The title of the information collection: DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing. 2. OMB approval numbers: DOE/NRC Form 740M: 3150-0057. DOE/NRC Form 741: 3150-0003. DOE/NRC Form 742: 3150-0004. DOE/NRC Form 742C: 3150-0058. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number if applicable: DOE/NRC Forms 740M, 741, 742, and 742C. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Reports will be collected whenever nuclear material is shipped or received into the Material Balance Area; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report will be collected on an annual basis; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing will be collected on an annual basis; DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note Forms are used when needed. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Any licensee who ships, receives, or otherwise undergoes an inventory change of nuclear material is required to submit a DOE/NRC Form 741 to document the change. Additional information regarding these transactions shall be submitted through Form 740M, with Safeguards Information identified and handled in accordance with Sec. 73.21 of Title of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Protection of Safeguards Information: Performance requirements.'' Any licensee who had possessed in the previous reporting period, at any one time and location, nuclear material in a quantity totaling one gram or more shall complete DOE/NRC Form 742. In addition, each licensee, Federal or State, who is authorized to possess, at any one time or location, one kilogram of foreign obligated source material, is required to file with the NRC an annual statement of source material inventory which is foreign obligated. Any licensee, who had possessed in the previous reporting period, at any one time and location, special nuclear material in a quantity totaling one gram or more shall complete DOE/NRC Form 742C. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: DOE/NRC Form 740M: 150 DOE/NRC Form 741: 10,000 DOE/NRC Form 742: 360 DOE/NRC Form 742C: 360 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: DOE/NRC Form 740M: 15 DOE/NRC Form 741: 340 DOE/NRC Form 742: 360 DOE/NRC Form 742C: 360 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: DOE/NRC Form 740M: 113 DOE/NRC Form 741: 12,500 DOE/NRC Form 742: 1,260 DOE/NRC Form 742C: 1,440 10. Abstract: Persons licensed to possess specified quantities of nuclear material currently report inventory and transaction of material to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System via the DOE/ NRC Forms: DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing. The NRC uses these forms to collect, retrieve, analyze, and maintain relevant inventory data. The NRC is not submitting the information collections [[Page 33933]] associated with the modified Small Quantities Protocol to OMB at this time. A separate 30-day notice will be published prior to submitting the information collections associated with the final rule. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of July 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. David Cullison, NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer. [FR Doc. 2017-15354 Filed 7-20-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P
