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. 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 75 Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement. 3. The form number if applicable: N/A. 4. How often the collection is required: Installation information is submitted upon written notification from the Commission. Changes are submitted as they occur.

An estimate of the number of annual responses: 8. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: Seven, one of which perform the reporting and recordkeeping and the other six perform the recordkeeping only.
