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.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
