NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review or 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 52, ``Early 
Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for 
Nuclear Power Plants.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion and every 10 
to 20 years for applications for renewal.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Designers of commercial 
nuclear power plants, electric power utilities, and any person eligible 
under the Atomic Energy Act to apply for a construction permit for a 
nuclear power plant.
    5. The number of annual respondents: Two applications for design 
certification will be under review during the next three years.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: Approximately 65,333 hours per year for both applications 
in addition to the burden associated with 10 CFR Parts 20, 50, 73 and 
100 (approved by OMB under Clearance Nos. 3150-0014, 3150-0011, 3150-
0002, and 3150-0093, respectively).
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 52 establishes requirements for the 
granting of early site permits, certifications of standard nuclear 
power plant designs, and licenses which combine in a single license a 
construction permit and an operating license with conditions (combined 
licenses). Part 52 also establishes requirements for renewal of these 
permits, certifications, and licenses; amendments to them; exemptions 
from certifications; and variances from early site permits.
    NRC uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and 
suitability of an applicant's site, plant design, construction, 
training and experience, and plans and procedures for the protection of 
the public health and safety. The NRC review of such information and 
the findings derived from that information form the basis of NRC 
decisions and actions concerning the issuance, modification, or 
revocation of site permits, design certifications, and combined 
licenses for nuclear power plants.
    Submit by December 26, 1995 comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the collection of information be 
minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?
