In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is preapproved. We note that this collection is associated with a final rule. As part of the terms of clearance for this collection, OMB requests NRC to update the collection with the Federal Register citation information once the final rule has been published in the Federal Register.

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations that govern packaging and transportation of radioactive material and physical protection of plants and materials. Specifically, the amendments require licensees to provide advance notification to participating Federally-recognized Tribal governments regarding shipments of irradiated reactor fuel and certain nuclear wastes for any shipment that passes within or across their reservations. The rule extends to Tribal officials, his or her designee, and Tribal law enforcement personnel relief from fingerprinting requirements required for access to Safeguards Information (SGI). The participating Tribal government is required to protect the shipment information as SGI.
The final rule will increase the recordkeeping and third party notification requirements in Part 73 by 163 hours from 524,820 to 524,983 because this is a new requirement to notify participating Tribes of shipments that cross Tribal reservations. All of the burden is associated with Part 73; there is no expected increase for Part 71.
Upon approval of this Final Rule, the Burden for 10 CFR Part 73 will be transfered to its correct clearance 3150-0002.
The total annual burden for this proposed rule is 163 hours (6.4 recordkeeping hours + 156.4 third party hours). The total annualized burden cost for this proposed rule is $41,891 (163 hours x $257/hr).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
