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?
