[Docket No. NRC-2014-0215]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
AGENCY:
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION:
Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and solicitation of public comment.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register notice under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 73, "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials."
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0002.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion, with the exception of the initial submittal of revised Cyber Security Plans, Security Plans, Safeguards Contingency Plans, and Security Training and Qualification Plans. Required reports are submitted and evaluated as events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactor licensees, licensed under part 50 or 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), who possess, use, import, export, transport, or deliver to a carrier for transport, special nuclear material; actively decommissioning reactor licensees, Category I fuel facilities; Category II and III facilities; non-power reactors (research and test reactors); other nuclear materials licensees; and state and Tribal contacts.
5. The number of annual respondents: 581.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 543,280 (21,255 hours reporting + 486,535 hours recordkeeping + 35,490 hours third party disclosure).
7. Abstract: The NRC's 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. 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.
Submit, by December 5, 2014, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?
