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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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

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?
