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, 
``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.'' 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 February 19, 2021 (86 FR 
10360).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0011.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not Applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As necessary 
in order for the NRC to meet its responsibilities to conduct a detailed 
review of applications for licenses and amendments thereto to construct 
and operate nuclear power plants, preliminary or final design 
approvals, design certifications, research and test

facilities, reprocessing plants and other utilization and production 
facilities, licensed pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended (the Act) and to monitor their activities. Reports are 
submitted daily, monthly, quarterly, annually, semi-annually, and on 
occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees and 
applicants for or holder of an operating license or construction 
permit, applicant for a standard design certification under part 52 of 
this chapter or an applicant for or holder of a standard design 
approval, a combined license and research and test facilities.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 42,244 (42,078 
reporting responses + 164 recordkeepers + 2 third-party disclosure 
responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 164.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 3.6M hours (1.2M hours 
reporting + 2.4M hours recordkeeping + 200 hours third-party 
disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of Production and 
Utilization Facilities,'' specifies technical information and data to 
be provided to the NRC or maintained by applicants and licensees so 
that the NRC may take determinations necessary to protect the health 
and safety of the public, in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
contained in 10 CFR part 50 are mandatory for the affected licensees 
and applicants.
