SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public 
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for a new 
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: Voluntary Reporting of 
Planned Licensing Request Submittals.

    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All operating power reactors

Regulation, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing.

or request: 310.
    7. Abstract: The NRC is seeking information on the licensing

use the information to (1) inform its budget development, (2) identify 
potential impacts from multiple actions utilizing the same resources, 
(3) develop solutions, if possible, to resource conflicts, and (4) 
communicate scheduling impacts to stakeholders.
