NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2014-0157]
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 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: 100.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 81,250 hours (80,000 hours of reporting and 1,250 hours of
recordkeeping).
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). Performance indicators are objective measures of the
performance of licensee systems or programs. The NRC uses PIs
information and inspection results in its Reactor Oversight Process to
make
[[Page 37780]]
decisions about plant performance and regulatory response. Licensees
transmit PIs electronically to reduce burden on themselves and the NRC.
Submit, by September 2, 2014, 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?
