The collection
is pre-approved, contingent upon no substantive changes being made
to this collection after adoption of the final rule. Otherwise,
this collection should be re-submitted to OMB for review. Since
this is a new collection, when the Agency submits a request for
renewal, it must include evidence of consultation with respondents
to ensure the supporting statement's accuracy on availability of
data, frequency of collection, clarity of instructions, accuracy of
burden estimate, relevance of data elements, and similar PRA
matters.

FINAL RULE: Risk-Informed,
Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors The
NRC is amending its regulations by adding a risk-informed,
performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework
for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy
Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA). The current application
and licensing requirements were primarily developed to address
license requests concerning light water-cooled reactors and
operational requirements for those types of reactors. This final
rule responds to NEIMA by creating an alternative,
technology-inclusive regulatory framework to accommodate licensing
of future commercial nuclear plants, including advanced reactor
designs that may not employ light-water technology. The information
collections associated with the final rule have been submitted
under the following clearance numbers: 3150-0146 Burden for 10 CFR
Part 26 (revision) 3150-0274 Burden for 10 CFR Part 53 (new
clearance number for a new CFR Part) 3150-0272 NRC Forms 893 and
894 (new clearance number for a new form) 3150-0002: 10 CFR Part 73
(revision) 3150-0104: NRC Form 366 (revision) 3150-0271 Burden for
10 CFR Part 50 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0011 is currently
unavailable for submissions due to the Alternatives to the Use of
Credit Ratings final rule) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 361
(temporary clearance number, 3150-0238 will soon be unavailable due
to the upcoming renewal of this form) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC
Form 396 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0027 is currently
unavailable for submissions due to renewal) 3150-XXXX: Burden for
NRC Form 398 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0090 is currently
unavailable for submissions due to the renewal)
As a result of the final rule,
NRC Form 361S is being created for voluntary use by Part 53
licensees; however, for this clearance period, there is no change
in burden or costs because there are no Part 53 facilities expected
to be in operation during the clearance period.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
