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 in 
this section.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 37, 
Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of 
Radioactive Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0214.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 755, ``Notification to 
the NRC

[[Page 54383]]

of Shipments of Category 1 Quantities of Radioactive Material''.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time for 
initial compliance notifications and fingerprints for the reviewing 
officials; and as needed for implementation notifications, event 
notifications, notifications of shipments of radioactive material, and 
fingerprinting of new employees.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees that are 
authorized to possess and use category 1 or category 2 quantities of 
radioactive material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 101,479 (4,704 
reporting responses + 95,375 third party disclosure responses + 1,400 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5,600.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 74,043 hours (1,557 
reporting + 23,989 recordkeeping + 48,497 third party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 37 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), contains security requirements for the use of 
category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. Licensees 
are required to: (1) Develop procedures for implementation of the 
security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how 
security is being implemented; (3) conduct training on the procedures 
and security plan; (4) conduct background investigations for those 
individuals permitted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of 
radioactive material; (5) coordinate with LLEAs so the LLEAs would be 
better prepared to respond in an emergency; (6) conduct preplanning and 
coordination activities before shipping radioactive material; and (7) 
implement security measures for the protection of the radioactive 
material. Licensees are required to promptly report any attempted or 
actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees are 
required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background 
investigation records, training records, and documentation that certain 
activities have occurred. NRC Form 755, ``Notification to the NRC of 
Shipments of Category 1 Quantities of Radioactive Material'' is used by 
licensees to provide advance notification of shipments of category 1 
quantities of radioactive material. The NRC uses the information 
required by 10 CFR part 37 to fulfill its responsibilities to respond 
to, investigate, and correct situations that adversely affect public 
health and safety or the common defense and security.

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?
