-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter
35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: Voluntary Reporting of
Planned Topical Report Submissions.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX.
3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Organizations planning on
submitting topical reports (TRs) to NRC for review.
5. The number of annual respondents: 10.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 1,000 hrs.
7. Abstract: As part of its ongoing efforts to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of the TR program, the NRC staff needs up-
to-date information on TR submittals. This additional information will
help the NRC staff in budget development and resource implementation.
The NRC staff plans to request a list of TRs an organization plans to
submit for staff review for the 3 fiscal years (FYs) following the
current FY. Information to be provided for each TR includes: (1) If it
will apply to existing plants, new plants, or both; (2) the estimated
number of licensed facilities planning to use the approved TR; (3) any
specific operating or new plant type that indicated intent to include
the safety evaluation in licensing actions if the TR is approved by the
staff; and (4) if a fee-exemption request will be submitted under
section 170.11 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
Submit, by January 22, 2013, comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
