Current NRC security regulations include security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors and Category I Strategic Special Nuclear Material (SSNM) facilities for access to enhanced weapons and firearms background checks. NRC Form 754 collects the information required to perform the necessary firearms background checks. The background check uses the person's fingerprints and other identifying information and is performed under the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System to determine if an individual is prohibited under Federal or State law from possessing or receiving firearms. Licensees submit NRC Form 754 for all security personnel protecting Commission designated facilities, radioactive material, or other property whose duties require them to have access to these weapons.

There was a decrease in burden hours from 1,240 hours to 840 hours due to a decrease in the number of licensee sites with Section 161A authority from seven to six, which also reduced the recordkeeping burden from 140 hours to 120 hours. This change in burden was due to multiple factors. A licensee was no longer in the possession of weapons that would require preemption authority at their site. The licensee has since then made a license amendment to terminate their preemptive authority at the site. In addition, to ensure compliance with OMB’s Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: “Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity,” the form has been revised to add the race ethnicity category “Middle Eastern or North African.” Finally, the hourly rate has increased from $288 per hour to $317 per hour.
