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 the OMB’s approval for the 

information collection summarized 

below. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Voluntary Reporting of 

Performance Indicators. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0195. 

3. Type of submission: Revision. 

4. The form number, if applicable: N/ 

A. 

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 

hours reporting + 1,392 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). 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: 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 5 / Friday, January 8, 2021 / Notices 1545 

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?

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–391; NRC–2020–0281] 

Tennessee Valley Authority, Watts Bar 

Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: License amendment request; 

opportunity to provide comment, 

request a hearing, and petition for leave 

to intervene; order imposing 

procedures. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of an amendment to Facility 

Operating License No. NPF–96, issued 

to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), 

for operation of the Watts Bar Nuclear 

Plant (Watts Bar or WBN), Unit 2. The 

proposed amendment would revise the 

Watts Bar Updated Final Safety 

Analysis Report (UFSAR) to apply 

alternate eddy current probabilities of 

detection (POD) to indications of axial 

outer diameter stress corrosion cracking 

(ODSCC) at tube support plates (TSPs) 

in the Watts Bar, Unit 2, steam 

generators for the beginning-of-cycle 

(BOC) voltage distribution in support of 

the Watts Bar, Unit 2, operational 

assessment. The proposed POD values 

will only be used until the Watts Bar, 

Unit 2, steam generators are replaced. 

For this amendment request, the NRC 

proposes to determine that it involves 

no significant hazards consideration. 

Because this amendment request 

contains sensitive unclassified nonsafeguards information (SUNSI), an 

order imposes procedures to obtain 

access to SUNSI for contention 

preparation. 

DATES: Submit comments by February 8, 

2021. Requests for a hearing or petition 

for leave to intervene must be filed by 

March 9, 2021. Any potential party as 

defined in § 2.4 of title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), who 

believes access to SUNSI is necessary to 

respond to this notice, must request 

document access by January 19, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods; 

however, the NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the 

Federal Rulemaking website: 

• Federal Rulemaking Website: Go to
