SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a direct final rule for
the certification of the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) standard
plant design on May 22, 2019 (84 FR 23439). The direct final rule
became effective on September 19, 2019. The direct final rule indicated
that OMB had not yet approved the information collection requirements
in the rule under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA-95) (44
U.S.C. 3501-3520) and stated that an agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and persons are not required to respond to, a collection of information
that does not display a valid OMB control number, which OMB assigns
upon approving an information collection. Consistent with the PRA-95
and OMB's PRA-95 implementing regulations in part 1320 of title 5 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, the direct final rule stated that the
NRC would publish another document in the Federal Register at a later
date to provide notice of the effective date of the information
collections in the rule or, if approval were denied, to provide notice
of what action the NRC planned to take.
On July 2, 2019, the NRC submitted the APR1400--Design
Certification information collection request for the direct final rule
to OMB for approval in accordance with the PRA-95. On September 12,
2019, OMB approved the collections of information contained in the
direct final rule and assigned the collections of information OMB
Control
Number 3150-0236, titled ``Information Collections Contained in the
Appendix F to 10 CFR part 52 Design Certification Rule for the APR1400
Design.'' The approval for collecting the information expires on
September 30, 2022. Accordingly, the information collection
requirements in the direct final rule are now in effect.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of December, 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David C. Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
