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, Part
54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
``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 May 19, 2021, (86 FR 27119).
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 54
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power
Plants.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0155.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
[[Page 47167]]
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: 66 (11 reporting
responses + 55 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 62 (1 initial
license renewal application + 1 subsequent license renewal application
+ 5 completion letters + 55 recordkeepers).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 216,700 (160,200 hours
reporting + 56,500 hours recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: 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 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: August 17, 2021.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
