inform those persons not to include

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 OMB’s approval for the
information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information
collection: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0217.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable:
Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: On occasion and annually.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Individuals and households;
businesses and organizations; State,
Local, or Tribal governments.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 4,200.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 4,200.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 1,087.5.
10. Abstract: The information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
for the purpose of improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data

22JYN1
47840
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 141 / Friday, July 22, 2016 / Notices
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
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?

South Carolina Public Service

notifications (ICNs) under § 52.99(c)(1)
of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), informing the

NRC that the licensee has successfully
performed the required inspections,
tests, and analyses, and that the
acceptance criteria are met for:

C.3.8.01.05.02.01 (857), and
C.3.8.01.05.02.02 (858)
The ITAAC for VCSNS Unit 2 are in
Appendix C of the VCSNS Unit 2
combined license (ADAMS Accession
No. ML14100A092). The ITAAC for
VCSNS Unit 3 are in Appendix C of
VCSNS Unit 3 combined license
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A101).
II. NRC Staff Determination of
Completion of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the
specified inspections, tests, and
analyses have been successfully
completed, and that the specified
acceptance criteria are met. The
documentation of the NRC staff’s
determination is in the ITAAC Closure
Verification Evaluation Form (VEF) for
each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that
represents the NRC staff’s structured
process for reviewing ICNs. Each ICN
presents a narrative description of how
the ITAAC was completed. The NRC’s
ICN review process involves a
determination on whether, among other
things: (1) Each ICN provides sufficient
information, including a summary of the
methodology used to perform the
ITAAC, to demonstrate that the
inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed; (2) each
ICN provides sufficient information to
demonstrate that the acceptance criteria
of the ITAAC are met; and (3) any NRC
inspections for the ITAAC have been
completed and any ITAAC findings
associated with that ITAAC have been
closed.
The NRC staff’s determination of the
successful completion of these ITAAC is
based on information available at this
time and is subject to the licensee’s
ability to maintain the condition that
the acceptance criteria are met. If the
staff receives new information that
suggests the staff’s determination on any
of these ITAAC is incorrect, then the
staff will determine whether to reopen
