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 Form 741 to make inventory and accounting reports for
certain source or special nuclear material, or for transfer or
receipt of 1 kilogram or more of source material. This form enables
NRC to collect, retrieve, analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to
fulfill its reporting responsibilities. The collection is being
revised to include the approximate 10 additional licensees required
to report pursuant to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories
Safeguards Agreement, INFCIRC/366. The estimated burden for the NRC
Form 741 has not changed. Changes to 10 CFR to implement the
U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement will require
10 new small entities to fill out existing OMB-approved forms
related to nuclear material accounting information to fulfill the
obligations of the safeguards agreement. There is no significant
change in the overall burden due to the addition of these entities,
because approximately 10 new entities are expected to submit 1 form
annually, thus not overall changing the approximate annual
submission of 10,000 forms.
There are no changes to the common form usage
as a result of this revision. The two agencies using the form
continue to be DOE and NRC.
