ORDER
On January 30, 2017, the NRC
provided notice in the Federal Register
of Waste Control Specialists, LLC’s
(WCS) license application to construct
and operate a consolidated interim
waste storage facility.1 The Federal
Register notice set a deadline of March
31, 2017, for members of the public to
file a request for a hearing and petition
for leave to intervene on WCS’s
application
The Sierra Club, the Sustainable
Energy and Economic Development
(SEED) Coalition, and the Nuclear
Information and Resource Service
(NIRS) each requested a 120-day
extension to file hearing requests.2 The
Sierra Club later withdrew its original
request and re-filed a joint motion with
WCS requesting a revised schedule that
would extend the deadline for filing all
hearing requests by 61 days, to May 31,

a briefing schedule for answers to be
filed 44 days after the deadline for
hearing petitions and for replies to be

answers. The joint motion represents
that the NRC Staff does not oppose this
proposed schedule.
Given that the joint motion is
unopposed, and in the interests of
efficiency, pursuant to my authority in
10 CFR 2.346(b), I hereby grant all
petitioners an extension of time until
May 31, 2017, to file hearing requests on
WCS’s license application. The deadline
for answers to timely hearing petitions
shall be July 14, 2017. And the deadline

records of detailed design related
information. These licensing procedures
are options to the two-step licensing
process in 10 CFR part 50, which
provides for a CP and an OL. The part
52 licensing process places procedural
requirements in part 52 and technical
requirements in part 50. Part 52 reduces
the overall paperwork burden borne by
applicants for CPs and OLs because part
52 only requires a single application
and provides options for referencing
standardized designs. The information
in 10 CFR part 52 is needed by the
agency 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.
III. Specific Requests for Comment
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the
information collection 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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?

II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 52,
``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
Applications are submitted only when licensing action is sought.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for early
site permits (ESPs), standard design approvals (SDAs) and
certifications, manufacturing licenses (MLs), and licenses which
combine construction permits (CPs) and conditional operating licenses
(OLs), e.g. COLs, for commercial nuclear power reactors.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,175 (1,150 reporting
responses plus 25 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 25.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 243,854 hours (22,414
hours reporting plus 23,440 hours recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: The licensing processes in part 52 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) provide for issuance of ESPs,
SDAs, MLs, CPs, and COLs for commercial nuclear power reactors. The
applicants submit updated reports, applications for renewals, exemption
requests and maintain records of changes to the facility and records of
detailed design related information. These licensing procedures are
options to the two-step licensing process in 10 CFR part 50, which
provides for a CP and an OL. The part 52 licensing process places
procedural requirements in part 52 and technical requirements in part
50. Part 52 reduces the overall paperwork burden borne by applicants
for CPs and OLs because part 52 only requires a single application and
provides options for referencing standardized designs. The information
in 10 CFR part 52 is needed by the agency 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.
