SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Lockheed Martin Corporation is in the phase-in period for assuming responsibility for the contract to provide operations support to the United States Antarctic Program. As part of that support, Lockheed Martin personnel will be assuming responsibility for waste management activities. Those activities are currently regulated under the terms of a permit held by the incumbent contractor, Raytheon Polar Services Company, Permit Number 2010 WM– 004. Lockheed Martin has requested that the permit be transferred to them. The transfer would be effective on or about 1 April 2012, the date the new contract is anticipated to take effect.

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and solicitation of public comment. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 November 28, 2011 (76 FR 72983). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 396, ‘‘Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee.’’ 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150–0024. 4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 396. 5. How often the collection is required: Upon application for an initial or upgrade operator license or, every six years for the renewal of operator or senior operator license, and upon notices of disability. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Facility licensees who are tasked with certifying the medical fitness of an applicant or licensee. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 2,160. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 135 Facilities submitting initial and upgrade applications, renewals and disability forms. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13155 requirement or request: 1,215 hours (1,012.5 hours for reporting, and 202.5 hours for recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: NRC Form 396 is used to transmit information to the NRC regarding the medical condition of applicants for initial operator licenses or renewal of operator licenses and for the maintenance of medical records for all licensed operators. The information is used to determine whether the physical condition and general health of applicants for operator licensees is such that the applicant would not be expected to cause operational errors and endanger public health and safety.

The license provides, among other things, that the facility is PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of one pressurized-water reactor (PWR) located in New Hill, North Carolina. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.46, ‘‘Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors,’’ requires, among other items, that each boiling or pressurized light-water nuclear power reactor fueled with uranium oxide pellets within cylindrical zircaloy or ZIRLO cladding must be provided with an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) that must be designed so that its calculated cooling performance following postulated lossof-coolant accidents (LOCAs) conforms to the criteria set forth in paragraph (b) of this section. Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50, ‘‘ECCS Evaluation Models,’’ requires, among other items, that the rate of energy release, hydrogen generation, and cladding oxidation from the metal/water reaction shall be calculated using the Baker-Just equation. The regulations of 10 CFR 50.46 and 10 CFR part 50, Appendix K, make no provisions for use of fuel rods clad in a material other than zircaloy or ZIRLO. The licensee intends to load the M5 TM cladding fuel assemblies into the core of HNP, Unit 1 during Refueling Outage 17, currently scheduled for spring 2012. The AREVA fuel design consists of low enriched uranium oxide fuel within M5 TM zirconium alloy cladding. Since the chemical composition of the M5 TM alloy differs from the specifications for zircaloy or ZIRLO, a plant-specific exemption is required to allow the use of the M5 TM alloy as a cladding material or in other assembly structural components. Therefore, by letter dated January 19, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML110250473), the licensee requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K to 10 CFR part 50 in order to use the fuel rods clad with AREVA’s M5 TM alloy. 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1) the exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to public health or safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM 05MRN1
