NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 
    
[[Page 66995]]

    1. The title of the information collection: Exercise of Discretion 
for an Operating Facility, NRC Enforcement Policy (NUREG-1600).
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0136.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactor 
licensees.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 36.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 2,160.
    7. Abstract: The NRC's revised Enforcement Policy includes the 
circumstances in which the NRC may exercise enforcement discretion. 
This enforcement discretion is designated as a Notice of Enforcement 
Discretion (NOED) and relates to circumstances which may arise where a 
licensee's compliance with a Technical Specification Limiting Condition 
for Operation or with other license conditions would involve an 
unnecessary plant transient or performance of testing, inspection, or 
system realignment that is inappropriate for the specific plant 
conditions, or unnecessary delays in plant startup without a 
corresponding health and safety benefit. A licensee seeking the 
issuance of a NOED must provide a written justification, which 
documents the safety basis for the request and provides whatever other 
information the NRC staff deems necessary to decide whether or not to 
exercise discretion.
    Submit, by February 26, 1996, 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?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    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 be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
