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.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0238.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 361.
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 cycle facilities,
NRC material licensees, and non-power reactors.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 556.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 556.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 278.
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: April 21, 2022.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
