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, 
``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 June 13, 2024, 89 FR 50381.
    1. The title of the information collection: 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, or holders, of an operating license or construction 
permit; applicants for a standard design certification under 10 CFR 
part 52; applicants for, or holders of, a standard design approval 
license, a combined license or a research and test facility license.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 42,863 (42,694 
reporting responses + 169 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 195.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 3.7M hours (1.6M hours 
reporting + 2.1M hours recordkeeping).
    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.
