NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently submitted to 
OMB for review the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Parts 50, 55, 
and 73--Reduction of Reporting Requirements Imposed on NRC Licensees.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often is the collection required: On occasion.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Nuclear power reactors 
and material licensees under Parts 50, 55, and 73.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses annually: A reduction of 
33 submittals of containment leakage test summary test reports (.3 per 
licensee); a reduction of 50 notifications under Sec. 55.25 (.5 per 
licensee): and a reduction of 284 submittals of safeguards log events 
(4 per licensee).
    7. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: Total reduction of 1888.5 hours or 10 hours 
per licensee.
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h), Public Law 96-511 
applies: Applicable.
    9. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to 
amend its regulations to reduce reporting requirements currently 
imposed on water-cooled nuclear power reactor and nuclear material 
licensees. This action will result in reducing the regulatory burden on 
NRC licensees and is the result of an NRC initiative to review its 
current regulations with the intent to revise or eliminate duplicative 
or unnecessary reporting requirements. The proposed amendments will: 
(1) Eliminate the current requirement for licensees to submit to the 
NRC summary reports of containment leakage rate tests (10 CFR Part 50-
Appendix J), but preserve the requirements in Secs. 50.72 and 50.73 
under which licensees currently report any instances of leakage 
exceeding authorized limits in the technical specifications of the 
license; (2) revise 10 CFR 55.25 to refer licensees to a similar 
reporting requirement in 10 CFR 50.74(c) and require notification of 
operator incapacity only in case of permanent disability or illness; 
and (3) eliminate the requirement for quarterly submittal of safeguards 
event logs presently contained in 10 CFR 73.71(c)(2) and Appendix G to 
Part 73.
    Copies of the submittal may be inspected or obtained for a fee from 
the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW. (Lower Level), 
Washington, DC.
    Comments and questions can be directed by mail to the OMB reviewer: 
Troy Hillier, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, (3150-0011, 
-0018, -0002), NEOB-10202, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, 
DC 20503.
    Comments may also be communicated by telephone at (202) 395-3084.
    The NRC Clearance Officer is Brenda Jo. Shelton, (301) 415-7233.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2d day of November, 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Gerald F. Cranford,
Designated Senior Official for Information Resources Management.
