rulemaking.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees and 
applicants requesting approvals for actions proposed in accordance with

    10. Abstract: The NRC's regulations at 10 CFR part 51 specifies 
information to be provided by applicants and licensees so that the NRC 
can make determinations necessary to adhere to the policies, 
regulations, and public laws of the United States, which are 
interpreted and administered in accordance with the provisions set 
forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.
