NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2010-0118]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register 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,
``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
3. How often the collection is required: Whenever applications are
made for Early Site Permits (ESPs), Standard Design Certifications
(SDCs), Combined Licenses (COLs), Standard Design Approvals (SDAs), or
Manufacturing Licenses (MLs); and every 10 to 20 years for applications
for renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Designers of commercial
nuclear power plants (NPPs), electric power companies, and any person
eligible under the Atomic Energy Act to apply for ESPs, SDCs, COLs, or
MLs.
5. The number of annual respondents: 14.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 207,244 hours (194,341 hours reporting + 12,903 hours
recordkeeping).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 52 establishes requirements for the
granting of ESPs, certifications of standard NPP designs, and licenses
which combine in a single license a construction permit, and an
operating license with conditions, OLs, MLs, SDAs, and pre-application
reviews of site suitability issues. Part 52 also establishes
requirements for renewal of those approvals, permits, certifications,
and licenses; amendments to them; exemptions from certifications; and
variances from ESPs.
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
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, DCs, COLs, and MLs for NPPs.
Submit, by May 24, 2010, 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 information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
