Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission revised the information collection package for 10 CFR Part 52 (OMB Clearance Number 3150-0151) and amended its regulations by revising the provisions applicable to the licensing and approval processes for nuclear power plants (i.e., early site permit, standard design approval, standard design certification, combined license, and manufacturing license). This revision was pre-approved by OMB on 7/11/07, and approved on 8/28/07. This change worksheet is needed to transfer the burden from 10 CFR Part 52's Final Rulemaking package and implement the burden in 10 CFR Parts 21 and 51 (OMB Collection Numbers 3150-0035 and 3150-0021.)

Short Statement: Justification for Nonmaterial /Nonsubstantive Change to 10 CFR Parts 52, 21, and 51 (OMB Clearance Numbers 3150-0151, 3150-0035, and 3150-0021). In a final rulemaking submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on May 30, 2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) revised the information collection package for 10 CFR Part 52 (OMB Clearance Number 3150-0151) and amended its regulations by revising the provisions applicable to the licensing and approval processes for nuclear power plants (i.e., early site permit, standard design approval, standard design certification, combined license, and manufacturing license). This final rulemaking was pre-approved by OMB on 7/11/2007, and approved on 8/28/2007. This change worksheet is needed to: 1) Correct the number of responses incorrectly captured for 10 CFR Part 52 (from 178 to 48); 2) Transfer the number of responses captured as part of 10 CFR Part 52 and transfer them to From 10 CFR Part 52 (-7 responses) to 10 CFR Part 21 (+6 responses) and 10 CFR Part 51 (+ 1 response); 3) Correct the burden attributed to 10 CFR Part 52 to its correct location. Transfer the burden from 10 CFR Part 52 (-533 hours) to 10 CFR Part 21 (+433 hours) and 10 CFR 51 (+100 hours). Inventory Correction Worksheets are being prepared to transfer the burden and responses to 10 CFR Parts 21 and 51 (OMB Clearance Numbers 3150-0035 and 3150-0021.)
