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 Form 741 to make inventory and accounting reports for
certain source or special nuclear material, or for transfer or
receipt of 1 kilogram or more of source material. This form enables
NRC to collect, retrieve, analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to
fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
There has been an overall
reduction in the burden for this collection by 8,116 hours from
20,616 to 12,500 hours. Even though there has been an increase in
the hourly rate from $259/hour to $272/hour, changes in the nuclear
industry has resulted in a sizable reduction to the overall burden
of this collection. In particular, two large fuel cycle facilities
ceased operations; each of which was responsible for a large number
of forms per year. Additionally, approximately 45 small licensees
have either ceased operations or removed their nuclear material
holdings therefore eliminating their reporting needs. Finally, the
nuclear industry overall has made great improvements in nuclear
materials reporting and has reduced the need to submit reports to
document minor editorial corrections.

This information collection request will also
categorize this form as a common form. Once the OMB approves the
use of this common form, all Federal agencies using the form may
request use of this common form without additional 60- or 30-day
notice and comment requirements. At that point, each agency will
account for its number of respondents and the burden associated
with the agency’s use. Form 741 is used by both NRC and the DOE.
NRC provides the form and instructions to all affected licensees,
who must submit reports in computer readable format. Once submitted
by licensees, information from these forms is saved in the NMMSS.
Common reporting forms are used to minimize the reporting burden on
industry members required to provide regulations or contractual
obligations. The licensee is thus able to file one report to meet
the requirements of both agencies. Compliance with specific
reporting requirements is monitored by the agency for which the
specific data are required.
