NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2008-0358]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request 
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection 
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the 
Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: Voluntary Reporting of 
Performance Indicators.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0195.
    3. How often the collection is required: Quarterly.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Power reactor licensees.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 104.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: Approximately 84,500 hours (83,200 reporting hours plus 
1,300 recordkeeping hours for 26 recordkeepers).
    7. Abstract: As part of a joint industry-NRC initiative, the NRC 
receives information submitted voluntarily by power reactor licensees 
regarding selected performance attributes known as performance 
indicators (PIs). PIs are objective measures of the performance of 
licensee systems or programs. The NRC's reactor oversight process uses 
PI information, along with the results of inspections, as the basis for 
NRC conclusions regarding plant performance and necessary regulatory 
response. Licensees transmit PIs electronically to reduce burden on 
themselves and the NRC.
    Submit, by August 29, 2008, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
