10 CFR Part 74--Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear 
Material

    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0123.
    3. How often the collection is required: Submission of the 
fundamental nuclear material control plan is a one-time requirement 
which has been completed by all current licensees. Specified inventory 
and material status reports are required annually or semiannually. 
Other reports are submitted as events occur.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed under 10 
CFR Parts 70 or 72 who possess and use certain forms and quantities of 
special nuclear material.

control and accounting of special nuclear material, and specific 
performance-based regulations for licensees authorized to possess and 
use strategic special nuclear material, or to possess and use, or 
produce, special nuclear material of low strategic significance. The 
information is used by the NRC to make licensing and regulatory 
determinations concerning material control and accounting of special 
nuclear material and to satisfy obligations of the United States to the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Submission or retention of 
the information is mandatory for persons subject to the requirements.

utility?

    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
