NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0130]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently
submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection
of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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 July 7, 2011.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 54,
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power
Plants.''
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
5. 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.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Commercial nuclear
power plant licensees who wish to renew their operating licenses and
holders of renewed licenses.
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 60 (7 responses +
53 recordkeeping).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7 (3 license renewal
applications + 4 commitment completion letters).
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 305,490 hours (252,490 hours
reporting plus 53,000 hours recordkeeping).
10. 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.
