Request an Office of the Inspector General (OIG) inspection on why different NRC regions have different analysis criteria for similar PCP events. 4. Request a $10 million fine over these events. 5. Request for PNP to return to yellow or red status and for the NRC to intensify its monitoring of PNP. The NRC sent a copy of the proposed director’s decision to the petitioner and the licensee for comment on January 23, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML14338A435 and ML14338A431). The petitioner and the licensee were asked to provide comments within 15 days on any part of the proposed director’s decision that was considered to be erroneous or any issues in the petition that were not addressed. Comments were received from the petitioner and are addressed in an attachment to the final director’s decision. The Deputy Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation denied the petitioner’s requests for the following actions: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Request for PNP to open every PCP for inspection and clear up all flaws. 2. Request for PNP to replace the PCPs with others designed for their intended duty. 3. Request a $10 million fine over these events. 4. Request for PNP to return to yellow or red status and for the NRC to intensify its monitoring of PNP. The reasons for this decision are explained in the final director’s decision DD–15–03, under 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission’s regulations. The petitioner’s request for an OIG inspection on why different NRC regions have different analysis criteria for similar PCP events has been forwarded to the OIG. The NRC found no basis for taking the requested enforcement-related actions against PNP; thus, the NRC denies the petition. NRC staff did not find that the continued operation of PNP would adversely affect public health and safety. The NRC determined that the licensee’s actions to date are adequate and there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the PNP will not endanger the health and safety of the public. For the performance deficiencies and inspection findings that the NRC has identified at PNP, the agency will continue to monitor the progress of the licensee’s completion of corrective actions through planned inspections consistent with the NRC’s ongoing reactor oversight process. Consistent with 10 CFR 2.206(c), the NRC staff will file a copy of this final director’s decision with the Secretary of the Commission for the Commission to review. As provided for in 10 CFR VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Apr 10, 2015 Jkt 235001 2.206(c)(1), the final director’s decision will constitute the Commission’s final action within 25 days of the date of the decision unless the Commission, on its own motion, chooses to review the decision within that time. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 6th day of April 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Jennifer Uhle, Deputy Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.'' 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 December 2, 2014, (79 FR 
71450).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 20, 
``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0014.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually for 
most reports and at license termination for reports dealing with 
decommissioning.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC licensees and 
Agreement State licensees, including those requesting license 
terminations. Types of licensees include civilian commercial, 
industrial, academic, and medical users of nuclear materials. Licenses 
are issued for, among other things, the possession, use, processing, 
handling, and importing and exporting of nuclear materials, and for the 
operation of nuclear reactors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 43,530 (11,739 for 
reporting [1,677 NRC licensees and 10,062 Agreement State licensees], 
21,018 for recordkeeping [3,003 NRC licensees and 18,015 Agreement
