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, ``10 
CFR part 140, Financial Protection Requirements and Indemnity 
Agreements.'' 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 10, 2018 (83 FR 15422).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``10 CFR part 140, 
Financial Protection Requirements and Indemnity Agreements.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0039.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion, 
as needed for applicants and licensees to meet their responsibilities 
called for in Sections 170 and 193 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Each applicant for or 
holder of a license issued under parts 50 or 54 of title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to operate a nuclear reactor, or the 
applicant for or holder of a combined license issued under parts 52 or 
54 of 10 CFR, as well as licensees authorized to possess and use 
plutonium in a plutonium processing and fuel fabrication plant. In 
addition, licensees authorized to construct and operate a uranium 
enrichment facility in accordance with parts 40 and 70 of 10 CFR.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 102.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 102.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 796.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 140 specifies the information to be 
submitted by licensees that enables the NRC to assess (a) financial 
protection required by licensees and for the indemnification and 
limitation of liability of certain licensees and other persons pursuant 
to Section 170 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and (b) 
the liability insurance required of plutonium processing and fuel 
fabrication plants, as well as uranium enrichment facility licensees 
pursuant to Section 193 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of July, 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Kristen Benney,
Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
