NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2013-0018]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for a new
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.
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: Reactor Oversight
Process External Survey.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX.
3. How often the collection is required: Once every 2 years.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Members of the public,
licensees, and other interested stakeholders.
5. The number of annual respondents: 13.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 13.
7. Abstract: The mission of the NRC is to regulate the nation's
civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to
ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, to promote the
common defense and security, and to protect the environment. One way to
support this mission is through the implementation of the Reactor
Oversight Process (ROP), which is the agency's program to inspect,
measure, and assess the safety performance of commercial nuclear power
plants and to respond to any decline in performance.
The NRC seeks to achieve continuous improvement of the ROP through
the ROP self-assessment process. The CY 2013 and 2015 ROP self-
assessments will rely, in part, on direct feedback from external
stakeholders. The information collected through the voluntary survey
will support this purpose, and a summary of the survey results will be
included in the annual ROP self-assessment report to the Commission.
Submit, by May 7, 2013, 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?
