    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 1,050.

    10. Abstract: Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), 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 preapplication 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. The NRC uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and 
suitability of an applicant's site, plant design, construction, 
training and experience, 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.
