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)

The changes on this worksheet are summarized as follows:

# of Responses # of Burden Hours

10 CFR Part 52 -130

10 CFR Part 52 - 7 -533

10 CFR Part 21 + 6 +433

10 CFR Part 51 + 1 +100
