SUMMARY: The 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 

April 27, 2011 (76 FR 23628). 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: 10 CFR part 81, ‘‘Standard 

Specifications for Granting of Patent 

Licenses.’’ 

3. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0121. 

4. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable. 

5. How often the collection is 

required: Applications for licenses are 

submitted once. Other reports are 

submitted annually or as other events 

require. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Applicants for and holders of 

NRC licenses to NRC inventions. 

7. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 1. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 1. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to complete the 

requirement or request: 37; however, no 

applications are anticipated during the

10. Abstract: As specified in 10 CFR 

part 81, the NRC may grant nonexclusive licenses or limited exclusive 

licenses to its patent inventions to 

responsible applicants. Applicants for 

licenses to NRC inventions are required 

to provide information which may 

provide the basis for granting the 

requested license. In addition, all 

license holders must submit periodic 

reports on efforts to bring the invention 

to a point of practical application and 

the extent to which they are making the 

benefits of the invention reasonably 

accessible to the public. Exclusive 

license holders must submit additional 

information if they seek to extend their 

licenses, issue sublicenses, or transfer 

the licenses. In addition, if requested, 

exclusive license holders must promptly 

supply to the United States Government 

copies of all pleadings and other papers 

filed in any patent infringement lawsuit, 

as well as evidence from proceedings 

relating to the licensed patent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

This guide focuses on terrestrial 

analyses for licensing new nuclear 

power stations under the combined 

licensing process in Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants’’ and power 

reactors under 10 CFR part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities.’’ This guide is also 

useful in identifying the more limited 

studies and analyses needed for nuclear 

reactor operating license renewal under 

10 CFR Part 54, ‘‘Requirements for 

Renewal of Operating Licenses for 

Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and portions 

may also be relevant to nuclear reactor 

decommissioning.

of August, 2011.
