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 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.'' The NRC hereby informs 
potential respondents that an

[[Page 12298]]

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 December 11, 2018 (83 FR 
63687).
    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: 12 power reactor 
licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4 (12 power reactors 
will each respond once over the course of the three-year clearance 
period).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4 (12 power reactors 
will each respond once over the course of the three-year clearance 
period).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 11,000 
hours.
    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 risk assessments. The NRC will 
use the information provided by licensees to determine if additional 
regulatory action is necessary. Licensees will have already completed 
submittals in response to this 50.54(f) request for seismic and 
flooding walkdown reports, seismic hazard reevaluations, seismic risk 
assessment, seismic high and low frequency confirmations, seismic spent 
fuel pool evaluations, flooding hazard reevaluations, flooding 
integrated assessments, focused evaluations of local intense 
precipitation and available physical margin, communications analyses, 
and initial and final staffing analyses.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, on March 26, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
