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.
There has been a reduction in the burden for this collection by 40 hours from 1,480 to 1,440 hours. Changes in the nuclear industry has resulted approximately 20 small licensees have either ceased operations or removed their nuclear material holdings therefore eliminating their reporting needs. However, there has been an increase in the hourly rate from $259/hour to $272/hour, increasing the overall financial burden to industry by $8,360 from $383,320 to $391,680.
