NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: 
Office of Management and Budget Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted 
to OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provision of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Parts 20, 
Radiological Criteria for Decommissioning.
    3. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    4. How often is the collection required: A one-time notification is 
required when licensees seeking license termination under restricted 
conditions submit a decommissioning plan or a notification of intent to 
decommission. A one-time notification is also required from applicants 
for new licenses.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Part 30, 40, 50, 70 and 
72 NRC and Agreement State licensees seeking license termination under 
restricted conditions and applicants for new licenses.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 19 per year.
    7. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: 600 (31.6 hours per response).
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h), Pub. L. 96-511 
applies: Applicable.
    9. Abstract: The proposed amendments to 10 CFR 20 will require (1) 
That licensees required to submit to the Commission a decommissioning 
plan or a notification of intent to decommission provide additional 
information to the Commission in these submissions when seeking license 
termination under restricted conditions, and (2) applicants for new 
licenses describe in the application how facility design and procedures 
for operation will minimize contamination, facilitate decommissioning, 
and minimize generation of radioactive waste. Those licensees proposing 
license termination under restricted conditions must submit a plan for 
establishing and supporting a Site Specific Advisory Board, and develop 
operating procedures for the Board. All records generated or reviewed 
by the SSAB become a part of the license docket. The rulemaking would 
ensure that decommissioning will be carried out without undue impact on 
public and occupational health and safety and the environment and would 
enhance the existing regulatory framework by providing a clear and 
consistent regulatory basis for determining the extent to which lands 
and structures must be remediated before a site can be decommissioned. 
The additional recordkeeping requirements would document the role of 
public participation in the licensing process and that sites have been 
decommissioned in accordance with the regulations.
    Copies of the submittal may be inspected or obtained for a fee from 
the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (Lower Level), 
Washington, DC 20555.
    Comments and questions can be directed by mail to the OMB reviewer:
