SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Nov 20, 2024 Jkt 265001 I. Background In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Final environmental impact statement— notice of availability,’’ the NRC is making available for public inspection NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal, regarding the subsequent license renewal of Northern States Power Company doing business as Xcel Energy (Xcel), renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR–22 for an additional 20 years of operation for Monticello. A notice of availability of the site-specific draft EIS (DEIS) (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal) was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2024 (89 FR 31225). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its Notice of Availability on April 19, 2024 (89 FR 28771). To align the end of EPA’s comment period with the NRC’s comment period, on May 3, 2024 (89 FR 36815), the public comment period was initially extended from June 3, 2024, to June 10, 2024. On June 5, 2024 (89 FR 48196), the NRC staff extended the public comment period by 15 days to June 25, 2024, and on June 14, 2024, EPA also noticed the extension of the comment period to June 25, 2024 (89 FR 50586) to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments. The public comment period on the site-specific DEIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal) ended on June 25, 2024, and the comments received on the sitespecific DEIS are addressed in the final EIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal). II. Discussion The site-specific draft EIS (NUREG– 1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal) was issued for public comment on April 24, 2024 (89 FR 31225). The site-specific final EIS addresses the comments received on the site-specific draft EIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal). As discussed in Chapter 4 of the final EIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal), the NRC staff has determined that the adverse environmental impacts of SLR for Monticello (i.e., the continued operation of Monticello for a period of 20 years beyond the expiration date of the initial renewed license) are not so great that preserving the option of SLR for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) information provided in the environmental report, as supplemented, and other documents submitted by Xcel; PO 00000 Frm 00101 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local governmental agencies; (3) the NRC staff’s independent environmental review; (4) consideration of public comments received during the scoping process, on the site-specific DEIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal); and (5) consideration of public comments received on the sitespecific draft EIS (NUREG–1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal).

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, 
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses 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 June 27, 2024, 89 FR 53662.
    1. The title of the information collection: Requirements for 
Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: There is a 
one-time application for any licensee wishing to renew the operating 
license for its nuclear power plant. There is a one-time requirement 
for each licensee with a renewed operating license to submit a letter 
documenting the completion of inspection and testing activities. All 
holders of renewed licenses must perform yearly record keeping.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Commercial nuclear 
power plant licensees who wish to renew their operating licenses and 
holders of renewed licenses.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 75 (13 reporting 
responses + 62 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 69 (7 reporting 
respondents + 62 recordkeepers).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 323,818 hours (255,818 
hours reporting plus 68,000 hours recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: Part 54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR) establishes license renewal requirements for 
commercial nuclear power plants and describes the information that 
licensees must submit to the NRC when applying for a license renewal. 
The application must contain information on how the licensee will 
manage the detrimental effects of age-related degradation on certain 
plant systems, structures, and components to continue the plant's safe 
operation during the renewal term. The NRC needs this information to 
determine whether the licensee's actions will be effective in assuring 
the plants' continued safe operation during the period of extended 
operation. Holders of renewed licenses must retain in an auditable and 
retrievable form, for the term of the renewed operating license, all 
information and documentation required to document compliance with 10 
CFR part 54. The NRC needs access to this information for continuing 
effective regulatory oversight.

    Dated: November 18, 2024.
