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 
45)
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 50. 
Decommissioning of Nuclear Power Reactors.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often is the collection required: Periodically upon a 
licensee's decision to permanently cease operations.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Part 50 licensees that 
have decided to permanently cease operations.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 2 licenses per year are 
expected to decide to permanently cease operations.
    7. An estimate of the reduction of the number of hours needed 
annually to complete the requirement or request: A reduction of 24,404 
hours (12.202 per licensee).
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h). Pub. L. 96-511 
applies: Applicable.
    9. Abstract: The proposed amendments would clarify ambiguities 
regarding decommissioning requirements and codify practices that have 
been used on a case-by-case basis. Nuclear power plant licensees 
desiring to decommission would be required to submit certifications of 
permanent cessation of operation and permanent fuel removal, submit a 
post shutdown decommissioning activities report and a license 
termination plan. Major decommissioning activities would be permitted 
by extending the 10 CFR 50.59 process to permanently shutdown reactors 
and include the recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained 
therein. For power reactor licensees, the license termination plan 
would be made part of the FSAR and would be subject to the FSAR 
updating documentation requirements. For non-power reactor licensees, 
the decommissioning plan would become part of the FSAR. Other Part 50 
documentation and/or reporting requirements have been modified to 
reflect the permanent shutdown status of nuclear power reactors. These 
modifications clarify licensing conditions pertaining to permanently 
shutdown power reactors.
    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.
