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, "Voluntary Reporting of Planned New Reactor Applications." 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.
[top] The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on July 22, 2024, 89 FR 59171.
1. The title of the information collection: Voluntary Reporting of Planned New Reactor Applications.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0228.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.

8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 20.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 1,405.
10. Abstract: This voluntary information collection assists the NRC in determining resource and budget needs with respect to future construction-related activities, anticipated licensing and design certification rulemaking actions under part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities" and/or 10 CFR part 52 "Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants" and other regulatory and preapplication activities for large light water reactors (LWRs), light water cooled small modular reactors, non-LWRs, and nonpower production and utilization facilities. In addition, information provided to the NRC staff is intended to promote early communications between the NRC and potential applicants about planned licensing and construction activities under 10 CFR part 50 and/or 10 CFR part 52. The overarching goal of this information collection is to assist the NRC staff more effectively and efficiently plan, schedule, and implement activities and reviews in a timely manner.
