NRC Form 327 is submitted by fuel facility licensees to account for special nuclear material. The data is used by NRC to assess licensee material control and accounting programs and to confirm the absence of (or detect the occurrence of) SNM through theft or diversion. NUREG/BR-006 provides specific guidance and instructions for completing the form in accordance with the requirements appropriate for a particular licensee.
The burden increased by 16 hours, from 124 hours (31 reports x 4 hours per report) to 140 hours (35 reports x 4 hours per report). This increase is due to the realization that 12 reports provided by the enrichment (for natural uranium, depleted uranium and low-enriched uranium) and fuel fabrication plants (for natural uranium and depleted uranium) had not been identified and accounted for during the last extension. In addition, three plants (one enrichment plant and two fuel fabrication plants) are shut down and 8 reports attributed to them are no longer provided.
The NRC no longer prepares NUREG-0430 "Licensed Fuel Facility Status Report" and thus the cost to the Federal Government has been adjusted accordingly.
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).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;

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.
