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, 
``Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.'' The NRC hereby informs

period on this information collection on February 2, 2023, 88 FR 7110.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 21, 
Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0035.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.

and responsible officers of firms constructing, owning, operating, or 
supplying the basic components of any facility or activity licensed 
under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the Energy 
Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, to report immediately to the 
NRC the discovery of defects in basic components or failures to comply 
that could create a substantial safety hazard.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 755 responses (43 
reporting responses + 357 third party disclosure response + 355 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 355.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 28,975 (3,407 reporting

    10. Abstract: Part 21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance,'' 
requires each individual, corporation, partnership, commercial grade 
dedicating entity, or other entity subject to the regulations in this 
part to adopt appropriate procedures to evaluate deviations and 
failures to comply to determine whether a defect exists that could 
result in a substantial safety hazard. Depending upon the outcome of 
the evaluation, a report of the defect must be submitted to the NRC. 
Reports submitted under 10 CFR part 21 are reviewed by the NRC staff to 
determine whether the reported defects or failures to comply in basic 
components at the NRC licensed facilities or activities are potentially 
generic safety problems. These reports have been the basis for the 
issuance of numerous NRC Generic Communications that have contributed
