The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on August 10, 2022, 87 FR 48697. 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 37, ‘‘Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material’’. 2. OMB approval number: 3150–0214. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 755, ‘‘Advance Notification to the NRC of Shipments of Category 1 Quantities of Radioactive Material’’. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time for initial compliance notifications and fingerprints for the reviewing officials; and as needed for implementation notifications, event notifications, notifications of shipments of radioactive material, and fingerprinting of new employees. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees that are authorized to possess and use category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 101,479 responses (4,704 Reporting + 1,400 Recordkeeping + 95,375 Third-Party Disclosure). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5,600 respondents (1,140 Agreement State Licensees + 260 NRC licensees + 4,200 individuals making personal history disclosures under 37.23(d)). 9.

Abstract: Part 37 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), contains security requirements for the use of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. Licensees are required to: (1) Develop procedures for the implementation of the security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how security is being implemented; (3) implement security measures for the protection of the radioactive material; (4) conduct training on the procedures and security plan; (5) conduct background investigations for those individuals permitted unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material; (6) coordinate with Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LLEAs) so the LLEAs would be better prepared to respond in an emergency; and (7) conduct coordination activities before shipping category 2 radioactive material, and preplanning and coordination activities before shipping category 1 radioactive material. Licensees are required to promptly report any attempted or actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees are required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background investigation records, training records, and documentation associated with implementation of the security program.

Quantities of Radioactive Material.'' The NRC hereby informs potential 
respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on August 10, 2022, 87 FR 48697.

officials; and as needed for implementation notifications, event 
notifications, notifications of shipments of radioactive material, and 
fingerprinting of new employees.

authorized to possess and use category 1 or category 2 quantities of 
radioactive material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 101,479 responses

third-party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 37 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), contains security requirements for the use of 
category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. Licensees 
are required to: (1) Develop procedures for the implementation of the 
security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how 
security is being implemented; (3) implement security measures for the 
protection of the radioactive material; (4) conduct training on the 
procedures and security plan; (5) conduct background investigations for 
those individuals permitted unescorted access to category 1 or category 
2 quantities of radioactive material; (6) coordinate with Local Law 
Enforcement Agencies (LLEAs) so the LLEAs would be better prepared to 
respond in an emergency; and (7) conduct coordination activities before 
shipping category 2 radioactive material, and preplanning and 
coordination activities before shipping category 1 radioactive 
material. Licensees are required to promptly report any attempted or 
actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees are 
required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background 
investigation records, training records, and documentation associated 
with implementation of the security program. The NRC uses the 
information required by 10 CFR part 37 to fulfill its responsibilities 
to respond to, investigate, and correct situations that have the 
potential to adversely affect public health and safety or the common 
defense and security.
