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 as follows.

1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 361, Reactor Plant Event Notification Worksheet; NRC Form 361A, Fuel Cycle and Materials Event Notification Worksheet;
   NRC Form 361N, Non-Power Reactor (NPR) Event Notification Worksheet.

2. OMB approval number: 3150-0238.

3. Type of submission: Extension.

4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 361, NRC Form 361A, NRC Form 361N.

5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. NRC licensee events are reportable when they occur.

6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Holders of NRC licenses for commercial nuclear power plants, fuel cycle facilities, NRC material licensees, and nonpower reactors.

7. The estimated number of annual responses: 563.

8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2,105.

9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 281.5.

10. Abstract: The NRC requires its licensees to report by telephone certain events and emergencies that have potential impact to public
    health and safety. In order to efficiently process the information received through such reports from licensees, the NRC created
    Forms 361, 361A, and 361N to provide a worksheet for licensees to record the information for the report. NRC licensees are
    not required to fill out or submit the form, but the form describes the order in which data about the event will be requested
    to enable a licensee to efficiently make the telephonic notification. Without the format provided by the NRC Forms 361, 361A,
    and 361N, the information exchange between licensees and NRC Headquarters Operations Officers via telephone could result in
    delays in completing the notification as the licensee answers questions from the NRC staff taking the report.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:

1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information
   have practical utility? Please explain your answer.

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection accurate? Please explain your answer.

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?

(Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.)

Dated: April 16, 2026. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Heather Dempsey, Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer. [FR Doc. 2026-07709 Filed 4-20-26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P
