Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 52, ``Early
Site Permits (ESP); Standard Design Certifications; and Combined
Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants''.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0151.
3. How often the collection is required: One occasion and every 10
to 20 years for applications for renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Designers of commercial
nuclear power plants, electric power companies, and any person eligible
under the Atomic Energy Act to apply for a construction permit for a
nuclear power plant.
5. The number of annual respondents: 5--3 applications for Early

issues. Part 52 also establishes requirements for renewal of these
approvals, permits, certifications, and licenses; amendments to them;
exemptions from certifications; and variances from early site permits.
NRC uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and
suitability of an applicant's site, plant design, construction,
training and experience, and plans and procedures for the protection of
public health and safety. The NRC review of such information and the
findings derived from that information from the basis of NRC decisions
and actions concerning the issuance, modification, or revocation of
site permits, design certifications, and combined licenses for nuclear
power plants.
