NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0130]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 39907]]
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 54,
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power
Plants.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time
application for any licensee wishing to renew its nuclear power plant's
operating license. There is a one-time requirement for each licensee
with a renewed operating license to submit a commitment completion
letter. All holders of renewed licenses must perform yearly record
keeping.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Commercial nuclear power
plant licensees who wish to renew their operating licenses and holders
of renewed licenses.
5. The number of annual respondents: 7 (3 license renewal
applications + 4 commitment completion letters).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 305,490 hours (252,490 hours reporting plus 53,000 hours
recordkeeping).
7. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
part 54, 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 so as 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.
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.
Submit by September 6, 2011, 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?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
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 be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
