Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 231 / Monday, December 4, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 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, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 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 September 7, 2023, 88 FR 61626. 1. The title of the information collection: 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 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 annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 307,465 (294,220 hours reporting + 13,245 hours recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: The licensing processes in part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:20 Dec 01, 2023 Jkt 262001 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, ‘‘Applications for Nuclear Power Plants’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML18131A181) provides guidance for applicants for COLs for nuclear power plants. Section C.2.1 of RG 1.206 deals with pre-application activities for respondents who intend to submit applications for COLs for nuclear power plants. Pre-application 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 preapplication 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 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. Dated: November 29, 2023. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. David C. Cullison, NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
