II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Request for Information Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3 
of the Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-
ichi Event.'' 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 28, 2015, 80 FR 45005.
    1. The title of the information collection: Request for Information 
Pursuant to 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. OMB approval number: 3150-0211.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Once.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: 100 power reactor 
licensees, and 2 Combined License holders (2 units each).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 79.3.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 104.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 104,962.
    10. 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 requested information from power reactor licensees pursuant to 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 50.54(f). 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. The NRC will 
use the information provided by licensees to determine if additional 
regulatory action is necessary.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of December, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tremaine Donnell,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
