NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2011-0130]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. The NRC 
published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period on 
this information collection on July 7, 2011.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 54, 
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power 
Plants.''
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
application for any licensee wishing to renew its nuclear power plant's 
operating license. There is a one-time requirement for each licensee 
with a renewed operating license to submit a commitment completion 
letter. All holders of renewed licenses must perform yearly record 
keeping.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Commercial nuclear 
power plant licensees who wish to renew their operating licenses and 
holders of renewed licenses.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 60 (7 responses + 
53 recordkeeping).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7 (3 license renewal 
applications + 4 commitment completion letters).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 305,490 hours (252,490 hours 
reporting plus 53,000 hours recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 
part 54, establishes license renewal requirements for commercial 
nuclear power plants and describes the information that licensees must 
submit to the NRC when applying for a license renewal. The application 
must contain information on how the licensee will manage the 
detrimental effects of age-related degradation on certain plant 
systems, structures, and components so as to continue the plant's safe 
operation during the renewal term. The NRC needs this information to 
determine whether the licensee's actions will be effective in assuring 
the plants' continued safe operation.
    Holders of renewed licenses must retain in an auditable and 
retrievable form, for the term of the renewed operating license, all 
information and

documentation required to document compliance with 10 CFR Part 54. The 
NRC needs access to this information for continuing effective 
regulatory oversight.
