NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections 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 52, ``Early
Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for
Nuclear Power Plants''.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
3. How often the collection is required: On occasion and every 10
to 20 years for applications for renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Designers of commercial
nuclear power plants, electric power utilities, and any person eligible
under the Atomic Energy Act to apply for a construction permit for a
nuclear power plant.
5. The number of annual respondents: No applications expected
during the next three years.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 0.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 52 establishes requirements for the
granting of early site permits, certifications of standard nuclear
power plant designs, and licenses which combine in a single license a
construction permit and an operating license with conditions (combined
licenses). Part 52 also establishes requirements for renewal of these
permits, certifications, and licenses; amendments to them; exemptions
from certifications; and variances from early site permits.
NRC uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and
suitability of an applicant's site, plant design, construction,
training and experience, and plans and procedures for the protection of
public health and safety. The NRC review of such information and the
findings derived from that information form the basis of NRC decisions
and actions concerning the issuance, modification, or revocation of
site permits, design certifications, and combined licenses for nuclear
power plants.
Submit, by February 8, 1999, 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?
