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: 10 CFR part 73, ``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials.'' 2. OMB approval number: 3150-0002. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Once for the initial submittal of Cyber Security Plans, Physical Security Plans, Safeguards Contingency Plans, and Security Training and Qualification Plans and then on occasion when changes are made. Required reports are submitted and evaluated as events occur. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Nuclear power reactor licensees licensed under 10 CFR part 50 or 52 who possess, use, import, export, transport, or deliver to a carrier for [[Page 13802]] transport, special nuclear material; actively decommissioning reactor licensees; Category I fuel facilities; Category II and III fuel facilities; nonpower reactors (research and test reactors); and other entities who mark and handle Safeguards Information. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 177,986 (40,819 reporting responses + 136,957 third party disclosure responses + 210 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 210 (60 power reactors; 10 decommissioning reactor facilities; 3 Category I fuel facilities; 4 Category II and III fuel facilities; 31 nonpower reactors; and 102 other entities who mark and handle Safeguards Information. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 541,406 hours (22,591 reporting + 475,852 recordkeeping + 42,963 third party disclosure). 10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 73 prescribe requirements to establish and maintain a physical protection system and security organization with capabilities for protection of (1) Special nuclear material (SNM) at fixed sites, (2) SNM in transit, and (3) plants in which SNM is used. Part 73 contains reporting and recordkeeping requirements which are necessary to help ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for nuclear facilities and nuclear material, such as: Development and maintenance of security documents, including a physical security plan, training and qualification plan, safeguards contingency plan, cyber security plan, and security implementing procedures; notifications to the NRC regarding safeguards and cyber security events; notifications to state governors and tribes of shipments of irradiated reactor fuel; and requirements for conducting criminal history records checks of individuals granted unescorted access to a nuclear power facility, a non-power reactor, or access to Safeguards Information. The objective is to ensure that activities involving special nuclear material are consistent with interests of common defense and security and that these activities do not constitute an unreasonable risk to public health and safety. The information in the reports and records submitted by licensees is used by the NRC staff to ensure that the health and safety of the public and the environment are protected, and licensee possession and use of special nuclear material is in compliance with license and regulatory requirements. 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?
