Abstract: Persons licensed to possess specified quantities of nuclear material currently report inventory and transaction of material to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System via the DOE/NRC Forms: DOE/ NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/ NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; and DOE/ NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing. This collection is being revised to include approximately 25 entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). Part 75 requires licensees to provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities under the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366), permit inspections by Agreement (INFCIRC/366). The IAEA inspectors, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear material. These licensees will also follow written material accounting and control procedures. Reporting of transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be done through the U.S. State system (Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150–0003, 3150–0004, 3150–0057, and 3150–0058.) The NRC needs this information to implement its international obligations under the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been a decrease in the burden for this collection of 106 hours, from 1,310 to 1,204 hours. These decreases are due to lesser numbers of NRC licensees than previous years to fill out existing OMB approved forms related to nuclear material accounting information to fulfill the obligations of the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreements. In particular, there were 809 licensees who were required to provide physical inventory data 4 years ago. Currently, the number of licensees who are required to provide physical inventory data is 514.
