NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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 March 24, 2008.
    1. Type of submission--new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 54, 
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power 
Plants.''
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
application for any licensee wishing to renew its nuclear power plant's 
operating license. There is a one-time requirement for each licensee 
with a renewed operating license to submit a commitment completion 
letter. All holders of renewed licenses must perform yearly record 
keeping.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Commercial nuclear 
power plant licensees who wish to renew their operating licenses and 
holders of renewed licenses.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 10 (six Part 54 
respondents plus four commitment completion letter respondents).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 50 (10 responses 
plus 40 recordkeepers).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 544,940 hours (504,940 hours 
reporting plus 40,000 hours recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: Title 10, Part 54, establishes license renewal 
requirements for commercial nuclear

power plants and describes the information that licensees must submit 
to the NRC when applying for a license renewal.
    The application must contain information on how the licensee will 
manage the detrimental effects of age-related degradation on certain 
plant systems, structures, and components so as to continue the plant's 
safe operation during the renewal term. The NRC needs this information 
to determine whether the licensee's actions will be effective in 
assuring the plant's continued safe operation.
    Holders of renewed licenses must retain in an auditable and 
retrievable form, for the term of the renewed operating license, all 
information and documentation required to document compliance with 10 
CFR Part 54. The NRC needs access to this information for continuing 
effective regulatory oversight.
    A copy of the final supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance
