NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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: Revision/
Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: Exercise of Discretion 
for an Operating Facility, NRC Enforcement Policy (NUREG-1600).
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactor 
licensees.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 36.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 2,160.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: The NRC's revised Enforcement Policy includes the 
circumstances in which the NRC may exercise enforcement discretion. 
This enforcement discretion is designated as a Notice of Enforcement 
Discretion (NOED) and relates to circumstances which may arise where a 
licensee's compliance with a Technical Specification Limiting Condition 
for Operation or with other license conditions would involve an 
unnecessary plant transient or performance of testing, inspection, or 
system realignment that is inappropriate for the specific plant 
conditions, or unnecessary delays in plant startup without a 
corresponding health and safety benefit. A licensee seeking the 
issuance of a NOED must provide a written justification, which 
documents the safety basis for the request and provides whatever other 
information the NRC staff deems necessary to decide whether or not to 
exercise discretion.
