    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

[[Page 4523]]

OMB for review entitled, 10 CFR part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities.'' 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 October 18, 2017, (82 FR 
48539).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 50, 
``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0011.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As necessary 
in order for the NRC to meet its responsibilities to conduct a detailed 
review of applications for licenses and amendments thereto to construct 
and operate nuclear power plants, preliminary or final design 
approvals, design certifications, research and test facilities, 
reprocessing plants and other utilization and production facilities, 
licensed pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the 
Act) and to monitor their activities. Reports are submitted daily, 
monthly, quarterly, annually, semi-annually, and on occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees and 
applicants for nuclear power plants and research and test facilities.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 43,623 (43,473 
reporting responses + 149 recordkeepers + 1 third-party disclosure 
response).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 149.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 3.7M 
hours (1.1M hours reporting + 2.6M hours recordkeeping + 100 hours 
third-party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of Production and 
Utilization Facilities,'' specifies technical information and data to 
be provided to the NRC or maintained by applicants and licensees so 
that the NRC may take determinations necessary to protect the health 
and safety of the public, in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
contained in 10 CFR part 50 are mandatory for the affected licensees 
and applicants.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of January 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
