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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:19 Sep 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 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 combined licenses (COLs) for commercial nuclear power reactors. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 59 (48 reporting responses plus 11 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 13. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annual to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 308,931 (294,200 hours reporting + 14,711 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, 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 construction permit (CP) and an operating license (OL). The part 52 licensing process places procedural requirements in part 52 and technical requirements in part 50. Part 52 can reduce 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. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206 provides guidance for applicants for COLs for nuclear power plants. Section C.2.1 of RG 1.206 deals with preapplication activities for respondents who intend to submit applications for COLs for nuclear power plants. Preapplication activities encompass all the communications, correspondence, meetings, document submittals/reviews, and other interactions that occur between the NRC staff and a prospective applicant before the tendering of an application under 10 CFR part 52. Participation in pre-application activities is voluntary. Potential applicants who engage in preapplication activities benefit from an early NRC staff assessment of the completeness and level of detail of the information that the applicant proposes to submit and staff identification of potential deficiencies PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61627 in the application. Pre-application activities are expected to increase the efficiency of the staff’s review of those applications once they are submitted. Subpart B of 10 CFR part 52 establishes the process for obtaining design certifications. III. Specific Requests for Comments 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? Please explain your answer. 2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection accurate? Please explain your answer. 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? Dated: September 1, 2023.
