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 NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 50.76 
``Reporting Reliability and Availability Information for Risk-
Significant Systems and Equipment.''
    3. The form number, if applicable: Not Applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    5. Who will be required to report: Licensees for commercial nuclear 
power reactors.
    6. An estimate of the number of respondents: 110
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 110
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the request: 151,200 (1375 hours per response). In addition, 
there is a one-time implementation burden of 46,550 hours which, 
annualized over three years, will be 15,520 hours (141 hours per 
licensee). Total initial annual burden will therefore be 166,720 hours 
(1516 hours) per licensee.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing 
to amend its regulations to require that licensees for commercial 
nuclear power reactors report summary reliability and availability data 
for risk-significant systems and equipment to NRC. In addition, the 
records and documentation that provide the bases for the summary data 
reported to the NRC shall be maintained on site and made available for 
NRC inspection. This mandatory information would improve the NRC's 
ability to make risk-effective regulatory decisions consistent with the 
Commission's policy statement on the use of probabilistic risk 
assessments. The risk-significant systems and equipment for which data 
would be provided are a subset of the systems and equipment within the 
scope of the maintenance rule, 10 CFR 50.65.
