II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Form 361, Reactor 
Plant Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361A, Fuel Cycle and 
Materials Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361N, Non-Power 
Reactor Event Notification Worksheet.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX.
    3. Type of submission: New.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 361, NRC Form 361A, NRC 
Form 361N.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion, 
as defined NRC licensee events are reportable when they occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Holders of NRC 
licenses for commercial nuclear power plants, fuel

[[Page 48473]]

cycle facilities, NRC material licensees, and non-power reactors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 537.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 268.5 hours.
    10. Abstract: The NRC requires its licensees to report by telephone 
certain reactor events and emergencies that have potential impact to 
public health and safety. In order to efficiently process the 
information received through such reports for reactors, the NRC created 
Forms 361 to provide a templated worksheet for recording the 
information. NRC licensees are not required to fill out or submit the 
worksheet, but the form provides the usual order of questions and 
discussion to enable a licensee to prepare answers for a more clear and 
complete telephonic notification. Without the templated format of the 
NRC Forms 361, the information exchange between licensees and NRC 
Headquarters Operations Officers via telephone could result in delays 
as well as unnecessary transposition errors.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection 
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 on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of September, 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David C. Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
