NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2013-0131]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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: 10 CFR Part 52,
``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
3. How often the collection is required: Whenever applications are
made for early site permits (ESPs), standard design certifications
(SDCs), combined licenses (COLs), standard design approvals (SDAs), or
manufacturing licenses (MLs); at certain intervals after receipt of a
COL; and every 10 to 20 years for applications for renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Designers of commercial
nuclear power plants (NPPs), electric power companies, and any person
eligible under the Atomic Energy Act to apply for ESPs, SDCs, COLs, or
MLs.
5. The number of annual respondents: 20.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 199,169 (194,867 reporting, 4,302 recordkeeping).
7. Abstract: Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), establishes requirements for the granting of ESPs,
certifications of standard NPP designs, and licenses which combine in a
single license a construction permit, and an operating license with
conditions, OLs, MLs, SDAs, and preapplication reviews of site
suitability issues. Part 52 also establishes requirements for renewal
of those approvals, permits, certifications, and licenses; amendments
to them; exemptions from certifications; and variances from ESPs. NRC
uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and suitability
of an applicant's site, plant design, construction, training and
experience, plans and procedures for the protection of public health
and safety. The NRC review of such information and the findings derived
from that information form the basis of NRC decisions and actions
concerning the issuance, modification or revocation of site permits,
DCs, COLs, and MLs for NPPs.
Submit, by September 16, 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?
