II. Background In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35),
the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to request the OMBs approval for the information collection summarized below.
- 1. The title of the information collection: Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Accident Tolerant Fuel Submittals.
3
- 2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been assigned to this proposed information collection.
- 3. Type of submission: New.
- 4. The form number, if applicable: Not Applicable.
- 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.
- 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All fuel vendors who anticipate submitting accident tolerant fuel (ATF) design applications. All potential applicants for the fabrication, transportation, and storage of ATF under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material, 10 CFR Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, and 10 CFR Part 72, Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste.
- 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 9.
- 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 9.
- 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 1,080.
- 10. Abstract: Accident tolerant fuel (ATF) development is a joint effort between the U.S. nuclear industry and the U.S. Department of Energy to design and pursue approval of various fuel types with enhanced accident tolerance. In preparing the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to review these advanced fuel designs, the agency is conducting advanced planning, reviewing the existing regulatory infrastructure, and identifying needs for additional analysis capabilities. The intent of this information collection is to help inform the NRCs budget and resource planning for the eventual review of ATF-related applications. Specifically, the NRC seeks ATF scheduling information for pre-application activities, topical report submittals, and other licensing submittals from all respondents. This information will allow the NRC to better allocate its resources to support the activities leading up to and including the review of an ATF 4
submittal. The proper allocation of resources promotes the efficient completion of the NRCs review responsibilities.
III. Specific Requests for Comments The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection 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 on respondents be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of February 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
