NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC–2011–0053]
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
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.
AGENCY:
The 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: Notice of Enforcement
Discretion (NOEDs) for Operating Power
Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants
(GDP) (NRC Enforcement Policy).
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0136.
3. How often the collection is
required: On occasion.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Nuclear power reactor licensees and
gaseous diffusion plant certificate
holders.
5. The number of annual respondents:
Approximately 11.
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 1,705.
7. Abstract: The NRC’s Enforcement
Policy addresses circumstances in
which the NRC may exercise
enforcement discretion. A specific type
of enforcement discretion is designated
as a NOED and relates to circumstances
which may arise where a nuclear power
plant licensee’s compliance with a
Technical Specification Limiting
Condition for Operation or other license
conditions would involve: (1) An
unnecessary plant shutdown; (2)
performance of testing, inspection, or
system realignment that is inappropriate
for the specific plant conditions; or (3)
unnecessary delays in plant startup
without a corresponding health and
safety benefit. Similarly, for a gaseous
diffusion plant, circumstances may arise
where compliance with a Technical
Safety Requirement or other condition
would unnecessarily require a total
plant shutdown, or, compliance would
unnecessarily place the plant in a

condition where safety, safeguards, or
security features were degraded or
inoperable.
A licensee or certificate holder
seeking the issuance of a NOED, must
document the safety basis for the
request, including: An evaluation of the
safety significance and potential
consequences of the proposed request, a
description of proposed compensatory
measures, a justification for the duration
of the request, the basis for the
licensee’s or certificate holder’s
conclusion that the request does not
have a potential adverse impact on the
public health and safety, that there will
be no adverse consequences to the
environment, and any other information
the NRC staff deems necessary before
the NRC staff makes a decision whether
to exercise discretion.
In addition, the NRC’s Enforcement
Policy includes a provision allowing
licensees to voluntarily adopt fire
protection requirements contained in
the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 805, ‘‘Performance Based
Standard for Fire Protection for Light
Water Reactor Electric Generating
Plants, 2001 Edition’’ (NFPA 805).
Licensees who wish to implement the
risk-informed process in NFPA 805
must submit a letter of intent (LOI) to
the NRC. Licensees who wish to
withdraw from the NFPA 805 riskinformed process must submit a letter of
retraction.
Submit, by July 5, 2011, 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?
