1USPS Notice of Changes in Rates and 

Classifications of General Applicability for 

Competitive Products, November 22, 2023 (Notice). 

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2), the Postal Service 

is obligated to publish the Governors’ Decision and 

record of proceedings in the Federal Register at 

least 30 days before the effective date of the new 

rates. 

2Notice, Decision of the Governors of the United 

States Postal Service on Changes in Rates and 

Classifications of General Applicability for 

Competitive Products (Governors’ Decision No. 23– 

6), at 1 (Governors’ Decision No. 23–6). 

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, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals 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 

September 7, 2023, 88 FR 61626. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Licenses, Certifications, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0151. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: On occasion. Applications 

are submitted only when licensing 

action is sought. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Applicants for early site 

permits (ESPs), standard design 

approvals (SDAs) and certifications, 

manufacturing licenses (MLs), and 

combined licenses (COLs) for 

commercial nuclear power reactors. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 59 (48 reporting responses 

plus 11 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 13. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 307,465 (294,220 hours 

reporting + 13,245 hours 

recordkeeping). 

10. Abstract: The licensing processes 

in part 52 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ provide for 

issuance of ESPs, SDAs, MLs, and COLs 

for commercial nuclear power reactors. 

The applicants submit updated reports, 

applications for renewals, exemption 

requests and maintain records of 

changes to the facility and records of 

detailed design related information. 

These licensing procedures are options 

to the two-step licensing process in 10 

CFR part 50, which provides for a 

construction permit (CP) and an 

operating license (OL). The part 52 

licensing process places procedural 

requirements in part 52 and technical 

requirements in part 50. Part 52 can 

reduce the overall paperwork burden 

borne by applicants for CPs and OLs 

because part 52 only requires a single 

application and provides options for 

referencing standardized designs. The 

information in 10 CFR part 52 is needed 

by the agency to assess the adequacy 

and suitability of an applicant’s site, 

plant design, construction, training and 

experience, plans and procedures for 

the protection of public health and 

safety. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206, 

‘‘Applications for Nuclear Power 

Plants’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18131A181) provides guidance for 

applicants for COLs for nuclear power 

plants. Section C.2.1 of RG 1.206 deals 

with pre-application activities for 

respondents who intend to submit 

applications for COLs for nuclear power 

plants. Pre-application activities 

encompass all the communications, 

correspondence, meetings, document 

submittals/reviews, and other 

interactions that occur between the NRC 

staff and a prospective applicant before 

the tendering of an application under 10 

CFR part 52. Participation in preapplication activities is voluntary. 

Potential applicants who engage in 

preapplication activities benefit from an 

early NRC staff assessment of the 

completeness and level of detail of the 

information that the applicant proposes 

to submit and staff identification of 

potential deficiencies in the application. 

Pre-application activities are expected 

to increase the efficiency of the staff’s 

review of those applications once they 

are submitted. Subpart B of 10 CFR part 

52 establishes the process for obtaining 

design certifications. 

Dated: November 29, 2023. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief 

Information Officer.
