NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2012-0081]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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: Request for Information
Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
50.54(f), Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3 and 9.3, of the Near-Term
Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Event.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0211.
3. How often the collection is required: Once.
4. Who is required or asked to report: 104 power reactor licensees,
2 reactors in the process of resuming licensing, and 2 Combined License
applicants (with 2 units each).
5. The number of annual respondents: 110.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 369,960 hours.
7. Abstract: Following events at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear
power plant resulting from the March 11, 2011, earthquake and
subsequent tsunami, and in response to requirements contained in
Section 402 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 112-074),
the NRC sought an expedited clearance from OMB to allow the collection
of information from power reactor licensees pursuant to 10 CFR
50.54(f). OMB approved this clearance, which will expire on September
30, 2012. The NRC is currently preparing to resubmit the collection to
OMB under normal clearance processes. The information requested
includes seismic and flooding hazard reevaluations to determine if
further regulatory action is necessary, walkdowns to confirm compliance
with the current licensing basis and provide input to the hazard
reevaluations, and analysis of the Emergency Preparedness capability
with respect to staffing and communication ability during a prolonged
multiunit event.
Submit, by June 29, 2012, 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?
