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: 359.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 89.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: The total reporting and recordkeeping burden is 72,712 (71,320 hours0.0037 days <br />0.0889 hours <br />5.291005e-4 weeks <br />1.2176e-4 months <br /> reporting + 1,392 hours0.00454 days <br />0.109 hours <br />6.481481e-4 weeks <br />1.49156e-4 months <br /> 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). Performance indicators 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. Licensees also participate in the ROP Performance Indicator Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) process that it is used to resolve interpretation issues with NEI 99-02. The 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. Specific Requests for Comments The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:

4

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?
