NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2011-0126]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

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 NRC invites public comment about its intention to request 
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection 
that is summarized below. The NRC is 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: 105.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: Approximately 85,300 hours (84,000 reporting hours plus 
1,300 recordkeeping hours).
    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). PIs are objective measures of the performance of 
licensee systems or programs. The NRC uses PI 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 August 16, 2011, 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?
