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 
potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 
that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on September 8, 2016 (81 FR 
62184).
    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.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not Applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
Defects and noncompliances are reportable as they occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Individual directors 
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: 531 (178 reporting 
responses + 3 third party disclosure responses + 350 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 350.
    9. The total estimated number of hours needed annually to comply 
with the information collection requirement or request: 43,565 hours 
(18,023 hours reporting + 25,257 hours recordkeeping + 285 hours third-
party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), 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

[[Page 95654]]

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 to the improved safety of the 
nuclear industry. The records required to be maintained in accordance 
with 10 CFR part 21 are subject to inspection by the NRC to determine 
compliance with the subject regulation.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of December, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
