The NRC is required to collect nuclear
material transaction information for domestic safeguards use and
make it available to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742 to report the material balance
within 30 days after the start of a physical inventory of nuclear
materials actually present at licensee's facilities, including the
quantities of foreign obligated source material. Licensees use
DOE/NRC Form 742C to report the material status based on a physical
inventory of nuclear materials actually present at licensee's
facilities. These forms enable the NRC to collect, retrieve,
analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to fulfill its reporting
responsibilities.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
