The 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 DOE/NRC Form 742 to report the material balance within 30 days after the start of a physical inventory of nuclear materials actually present at licensee's facilities, including the quantities of foreign obligated source material. Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742C to report the material status based on a physical inventory of nuclear materials actually present at licensee's facilities. These forms enable the NRC to collect, retrieve, analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to fulfill its reporting responsibilities. The collection is being revised to include the approximate 25 additional licensees required to report pursuant to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement, INFCIRC/366.
There has been an increase in the burden for this collection by 50 hours from 1,440 to 1,490 hours because changes to 10 CFR to implement the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement will require approximately 25 new entities to fill out existing OMB-approved forms related to nuclear material accounting information to fulfill the obligations of the safeguards agreement.
There are no changes to common form usage as a result of this revision. The two agencies using the form are DOE and NRC.
