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. These forms provide data
that is required under domestic and international safeguards
regulations. This collection is being renewed to allow the U.S. to
continue fulfilling its responsibilities as a participant in the
U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreements and to satisfy various bilateral
agreements for nuclear cooperation with other countries, and its
domestic safeguards responsibilities.
There has been a decrease in
the burden for this collection of 59 hours, from 1,204 to 1,145
hours. These decreases are due to lesser numbers of NRC licensees
than previous years filling out existing OMB approved forms related
to nuclear material accounting information to fulfill domestic
material control and accounting regulations and safeguards. The
number of respondents has decreased from 344 to approximately 327.
This reduction is primarily attributable to a decrease in the
number of licensees possessing reportable quantities of material
within a material balance period. The cost per hour has increased
from $278 to $290, based on an increase in the NRC’s fee rate.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
regulations require each licensee who is authorized to possess at
any one time and location special nuclear material (SNM) in a
quantity totaling more than one gram of contained uranium-235,
uranium-233, or plutonium, or any combination thereof, to prepare
and submit reports concerning SNM received, produced, possessed,
transferred, consumed, disposed of, or lost. Each NRC licensee who
has been selected for the application of International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards under Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 75 is required to complete and
submit Department of Energy (DOE)/NRC Form 742, "Material Balance
Report," within 30 days after the start of a physical inventory. In
addition, each licensee, Federal or State, who is authorized to
possess, at any one time or location, 1 kilogram of foreign
obligated source material, is required to file with the NRC an
annual statement of source material inventory which is
foreign-obligated. The instructions for completing Form 742 are in
NUREG/BR-0007, Revision 8 “Instructions for the Preparation and
Distribution of Material Status Reports.”
