II. Background Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of information to OMB for review entitled ‘‘Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Licensing Actions Related to Digital Instrumentation and Controls.’’ 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 5, 2023, 88 FR 84365. 1. The title of the information collection: Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Licensing Actions Related to Digital Instrumentation and Controls. 2. OMB approval number: An OMB control Number has not yet been assigned to this proposed information collection. 3. Type of submission: New. 4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually, with the addition of voluntary updates as available. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All holders of operating licenses or combined licenses for nuclear power reactors, except those that have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel or combined license holders that have not received authorization to load nuclear fuel and begin operation. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4.33. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.33. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 867. 10. Abstract: Operating reactors in the U.S. want to more efficiently integrate and implement digital upgrades into plant systems to address obsolescence issues with analog components and improve overall plant reliability. The regulatory focus for digital systems is tailored to the unique nature of the digital technologies and uses proposed by licensees and applicants. Depending on the scope of an analog to digital or a digital-to-digital upgrade, the level-ofeffort for a requested licensing actions (e.g., license amendment, exemption) can be significantly higher than the level-of-effort expended on a routine requested licensing action. Additionally, a significant portion of the level-of-effort for a digital instrumentation and controls (I&C) review will require specialized digital I&C and human factors engineering skills. To better plan and ensure availability of resources to perform digital I&C reviews, the NRC is seeking scheduling information for licensing submittals from all respondents. This information will allow the NRC to better allocate its resources to support the activities associated with licensing these technologies while being better able to meet the licensee’s desired timeline.
