Voluntary Reporting of Planned Licensing Request Submittals Survey

Voluntary Reporting of Planned Licensing Request Submittals Survey

Note 1:

The NRC is requesting information on planned licensing actions in order to better plan its resource utilization. It is not the NRC’s intention to use the information to restrict any emergent licensing actions. Licensees are not bound by the responses. Licensees may submit licensing actions that are not indicated in the response to the survey and may decide not to submit previous reported expected licensing actions at their discretion unless bound by a regulatory requirement.

Note 2:

This survey also includes more specific questions for power uprates. Licensees are requested to involve their management, as appropriate, to ensure that responses to this survey are based on realistic plans for power uprates. This will help to facilitate the NRC’s planning process for power uprate reviews and preclude having substantial slips in application dates (i.e., late applications), or receiving unexpected applications that could impact the availability of staff resources. Review of late or unexpected applications will be scheduled to the extent practical, on a case-by-case basis.

Note 3:

Licensees are requested to complete this portion of the survey regardless of whether they have received a power uprate in the past or currently have a power uprate under NRC review. Licensees that currently have a power uprate under NRC review should not complete the survey with respect to that uprate. Instead, they should complete the survey with respect to any additional future power uprate applications that may be planned.

8. Can the NRC staff make the above information public? Yes / No*

*If you select "no" above, the information you provide will be initially withheld from public disclosure. In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements on its own initiative, as the NRC has determined that it is appropriate to do so in this case since responses to the survey that contain business-sensitive information, the disclosure of which is likely to cause competitive harm, are considered by the NRC to constitute proprietary information. You also should understand that the NRC may have cause to review this determination in the future, for example, if the scope of a Freedom of Information Act request includes your information. In all review situations, if the NRC makes a determination adverse to the above, you will be notified in advance of any public disclosure. For example, you may be requested to submit an affidavit at that time.
