II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``NRC 
Form 361, Reactor Plant Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361A, 
Fuel Cycle and Materials Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361N, 
Non-Power Reactor (NPR) Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361S, 
Part 53 Plant Event Notification Worksheet.'' 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 April 21, 2026, 91 FR 21333.
    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 (NPR) Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361S, Part 53 
Plant Event Notification Worksheet.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0238.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 361, NRC Form 361A, NRC 
Form 361N, NRC Form 361S.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
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 cycle facilities, 
NRC material licensees, and nonpower reactors.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 563.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 143.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 281.5.
    10. Abstract: The NRC requires its licensees to report by telephone 
certain events and emergencies that have potential impact to public 
health and safety. In order to efficiently process the information 
received through such reports from licensees, the NRC created Forms 
361, 361A, 361N, and 361S to provide a worksheet for licensees to 
record the information for the report. NRC licensees are not required 
to fill out or submit the form, but the form describes the order in 
which data about the event will be requested to enable a licensee to 
efficiently make the telephonic notification. Without the format 
provided by the NRC Forms 361, 361A, 361N, and 361S the information 
exchange between licensees and NRC Headquarters Operations Officers via 
telephone could result in delays in completing the notification as the 
licensee answers questions from the NRC staff taking the report.
    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.

    Dated: July 15, 2026.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
