Abstract: 10 CFR part 75, requires selected licensees to provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for selected facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement, permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors under the Additional Protocol, 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. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include approximately 6 entities subject to the U.S.–IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities under the U.S.–IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366), permit inspections by 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, although actual 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 responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The overall estimated burden decreased by 993 hours from 4,227 to 3,234 due to a decrease in the number of licensees. The overall cost has increased as a result of an increase in the NRC’s fee recovery rate from $278 per hour to $288 per hour. The number of responses decreased primarily due to: 1. The number of licensees that are required under 10 CFR 75 who are defined to be facilities under 10 CFR 75.4 and specified on the US eligible list as determined by the Secretary of State, went down for various administrative reasons (e.g., decommissioned, license suspension, project shutdown). However, the number of selected facilities required to report remains the same; 4. 2. The number of licensees that are required to report information and maintain records under the US-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366) and its Small Quantities Protocol went down after further inspections of licensees in the Caribbean Territories.
