    If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons 
for submission to the OMB, then you should inform those persons not to 
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be

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
