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, 
``Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and 
Related Regulatory Functions.'' 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 January 18, 2022, 87 FR 2641.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Environmental 
Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory 
Functions.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0021.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Environmental 
reports are required upon submittal of an application for a combined 
license, construction permit, operating license, operating license 
renewal, early site permit, design certification, decommissioning or 
license termination review, or manufacturing license, or upon submittal 
of a petition for rulemaking.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees and 
applicants requesting approvals for actions proposed in accordance with 
the provisions of parts 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, 50, 52, 54, 60, 
61, 70, and 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 18.9.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 18.9.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 68,933.
    10. Abstract: The NRC's regulations at 10 CFR part 51 specify 
information to be provided in environmental reports by applicants and 
licensees so that the NRC can make determinations necessary to adhere 
to the policies, regulations, and public laws of the United States, 
which are interpreted and administered in accordance with the 
provisions set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended.

    Dated: April 7, 2022.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David C. Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
