Download as PDF 50274 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 156 / Friday, August 12, 2011 / Notices 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 April 27, 2011 (76 FR 23628). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 81, ‘‘Standard Specifications for Granting of Patent Licenses.’’ 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150–0121. 4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required: Applications for licenses are submitted once. Other reports are submitted annually or as other events require. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders of NRC licenses to NRC inventions. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 1. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 37; however, no applications are anticipated during the next 3 years. 10. Abstract: As specified in 10 CFR part 81, the NRC may grant nonexclusive licenses or limited exclusive licenses to its patent inventions to responsible applicants. Applicants for licenses to NRC inventions are required to provide information which may provide the basis for granting the requested license. In addition, all license holders must submit periodic reports on efforts to bring the invention to a point of practical application and the extent to which they are making the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to the public. Exclusive license holders must submit additional information if they seek to extend their licenses, issue sublicenses, or transfer the licenses. In addition, if requested, exclusive license holders must promptly supply to the United States Government copies of all pleadings and other papers filed in any patent infringement lawsuit, as well as evidence from proceedings relating to the licensed patent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the agency's 
``Regulatory Guide'' series. This series was developed to describe and 
make available to the public such information as methods that are 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the 
NRC's regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating 
specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff 
needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
    This guide focuses on terrestrial analyses for licensing new 
nuclear power stations under the combined licensing process in Title 10 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, ``Licenses, 
Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants'' and power 
reactors under 10 CFR part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and 
Utilization Facilities.'' This guide is also useful in identifying the 
more limited studies and analyses needed for nuclear reactor operating 
license renewal under 10 CFR Part 54, ``Requirements for Renewal of 
Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,'' and portions may also be 
relevant to nuclear reactor decommissioning.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of August, 2011.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of 
Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
