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

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?
