The form number, if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Quarterly for Performance Indicator reporting and, on occasion, for the Frequently Asked Question process. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Power reactor licensees. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 400 (379 reporting responses + 21 recordkeepers). 8.

The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: The total reporting and recordkeeping burden is 82,034 (80,960 hours reporting + 1,074 hours recordkeeping). 10. 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 (ROP) to make decisions about plant performance and regulatory response. Licensees transmit PIs electronically to reduce burden on themselves and the NRC. Licensees also participate in the ROP Performance Indicator Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) process that it is used to resolve interpretation issues with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document, NEI 99–02, ‘‘Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline.’’ The ROP PI FAQ process and white papers may also be used to propose changes to NEI 99–02 guidance and the PI Program. The NRC and industry review FAQs and white papers and work to achieve resolution during periodic public meetings. III.
