II. Background.
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35),
the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of information to OMB for review entitled, Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Accident Tolerant Fuel Submittals. 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 February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3831.
- 1. The title of the information collection: Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Accident Tolerant Fuel Submittals
- 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. An estimate of the total 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 submittal. The proper allocation of resources promotes the efficient completion of the NRCs review responsibilities.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of June 2019.
