Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information,

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Annually, with the 

addition of voluntary updates as 

available. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: All holders of operating 

licenses or combined licenses for 

nuclear power reactors, except those 

that have permanently ceased 

operations and have certified that fuel 

has been permanently removed from the 

reactor vessel or combined license 

holders that have not received 

authorization to load nuclear fuel and 

begin operation.

9. The estimated number of hours

information collection requirement or 

request: 87. 

10. Abstract: Operating reactors in the 

U.S. want to more efficiently integrate 

and implement digital upgrades into 

plant systems to address obsolescence 

issues with analog components and 

improve overall plant reliability. The 

regulatory focus for digital systems is 

tailored to the unique nature of the 

digital technologies and uses proposed 

by licensees and applicants. Depending 

on the scope of an analog to digital or 

a digital-to-digital upgrade, the level-ofeffort for a requested licensing actions 

(e.g., license amendment, exemption) 

can be significantly higher than the 

level-of-effort expended on a routine 

requested licensing action. 

Additionally, a significant portion of the 

level-of-effort for a digital 

instrumentation and controls (I&C) 

review will require specialized digital 

I&C and human factors engineering 

skills. To better plan and ensure 

availability of resources to perform 

digital I&C reviews, the NRC is seeking 

scheduling information for licensing 

submittals from all respondents. This 

information will allow the NRC to better 

allocate its resources to support the 

activities associated with licensing these 

technologies while being better able to 

meet the licensee’s desired timeline. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

Please explain your answer. 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? Please 

explain your answer. 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?
