Abstract: This OMB nonsubstantive change package represents a request for a change to the DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report. NRC seeks to make minor revisions to this form which would simplify correction of licensee errors. Each licensee authorized to posess special nuclear material totaling more than 350 grants of contained uranium-235, uranium- 233, or plutonium, or any combination thereof, is required to submit DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C. In addition, any licensee authoirzed to possess 1,000 kilograms of source material is required to submit DOE/NRC Form 742. The information is used by NRC to fulfill its responsibilities as a participant in US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement and various bilateral agreements with other countries, and to satisfy its domestic safeguards responsibilities.

Short Statement: This final rule amends the NRC’s regulations related to licensee reporting requirements for source material and special nuclear material (SNM) to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS). The amendment lowers the threshold of the quantities of SNM and certain source materials that require the submission of material reports to the NMMSS. NRC requires each licensee who is authorized to possess at any one time and location SNM in a quantity totaling 1 gram or more of contained uranium-235, uranium-233, or plutonium, or any combination thereof, to prepare and submit reports concerning SNM received, possessed, transferred, consumed, disposed of, or lost. In addition, each licensee who possesses, at one any time and location, 1 kilogram or more of foreign obligated source material, would be required to file with the NRC an annual statement of source material inventory. NRC also requires licensees to submit nuclear material transaction reports when a licensee uses 1 kilogram of source material in uranium enrichment services, down-blending material initially enriched in the isotope U-235 to 10 percent or more and mixed-oxide fuel fabrication. Licensees must complete a transaction report on NRC Form 741 when the licensee adjusts their inventory of SNM. This final rule also eliminates the requirement that requires licensees to complete the foreign recipient’s portion of the form when exporting SNM and source material is exported. The amendment will decrease the burden for NRC Form 741 by 1,495 hours, but will increase the burden for NRC Forms 742 and 742C, which will increase the reporting requirements because of the lower threshold of quantities are to be reported.
