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, 
``Voluntary Reporting of Planned New Reactor Applications.'' 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 December 1, 2020 (85 FR 
77279).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Voluntary Reporting 
of Planned New Reactor Applications.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0228.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants, licensees, 
and potential applicants report this information on a strictly 
voluntary basis.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 20.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 610.
    10. Abstract: This voluntary information collection assists the NRC 
in determining resource and budget needs as well as aligning the proper 
allocation and utilization of resources to support applicant 
submittals, future construction-related activities, and other 
anticipated part 50 and/or part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR) licensing and design certification rulemaking 
actions. In addition, information provided to the NRC staff is intended 
to promote early communications between the NRC and the respective 
addressees about potential 10 CFR part 50 and/or part 52 licensing 
actions and related activities, submission dates, and plans for 
construction and inspection activities. The overarching goal of this 
information collection is to assist the NRC staff more effectively and 
efficiently plan, schedule, and implement activities and reviews in a 
timely manner.
