Persons licensed to possess specified quantities of nuclear material currently report inventory and transaction of material to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System via the DOE/NRC Forms: DOE/ NRC Form 740M, Concise Note; DOE/ NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report; DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report; and DOE/ NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing. These forms provide data that is required under domestic and international safeguards regulations. This collection is being renewed to allow the U.S. to continue fulfilling its responsibilities as a participant in the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreements and to satisfy various bilateral agreements for nuclear cooperation with other countries, and its domestic safeguards responsibilities.
The number of anticipated responses and associated burden has decreased from 175 responses and 131 hours to 67 responses and 50 hours. The Form 740M is an optional reporting form that provides additional information not captured in the form fields for DOE/NRC Form 741 or Form 742. Consultation with NMMSS analysts prior to reporting nuclear material transaction forms (Form 741) has decreased the need for reporting the optional Form 740M form to provide additional clarifying information for the Form 741.
The cost per hour has increased from $278 to $290, based on an increase in the NRCâs fee rate.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is required to collect nuclear material transaction information for domestic safeguards use and to make it available to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). One of the forms that NRC uses to collect this information is U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NRC Form 740M, âConcise Note.â Form 740M is used to provide additional information such as qualifying statements or exceptions to data on any of the other data forms required under the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreements (including DOE/NRC Forms 741, 742, and 742C).
Licensees submit reports on a continuing basis when specified events occur, such as the receipt, transfer, or inventory adjustment of licensed material. The instructions for completing DOE/NRC Form 740M are in NUREG/BR-0006, Revision 9 âInstructions for Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports (DOE/NRC Forms 741 and 740M).â
