NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2010-0208]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on June 23, 2010.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 21
``Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance''.
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0035.
4. The form number if applicable: NA.
5. How often the collection is required: On occasion, as defects
and noncompliance are reportable as they occur.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Individual directors
and responsible officers of firms constructing, owning, operating, or
supplying the basic components of any facility or activity licensed
under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, to report immediately to the
NRC the discovery of defects in basic components or failures to comply
that could create a substantial safety hazard (SSH).
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 122 (74 responses
plus 48 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 48.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 8,926 hours (5,350 hours reporting
plus 3,576 hours recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: The 10 CFR part 21 regulation requires each
individual, corporation, partnership, commercial grade dedicating
entity, or other entity subject to the regulations in this part to
adopt appropriate procedures to evaluate deviations and failures to
comply to determine whether a defect exists that could result in a
substantial safety hazard. Depending upon the outcome of the
evaluation, a report of the defect must be submitted to NRC. Reports
submitted under 10 CFR part 21 are reviewed by the NRC staff to
determine whether the reported defects or failures to comply in basic
components at NRC licensed facilities or activities are potentially
generic safety problems. These reports have been the basis for the
issuance of numerous NRC Generic Communications that have contributed
to the improved safety of the nuclear industry. The records required to
be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR part 21 are subject to
inspection by the NRC to determine compliance with the subject
regulation.
