Abstract: The NRC requires its licensees to report by telephone certain reactor events and emergencies that have potential impact to public health and safety. In order to efficiently process the information received through such reports for reactors, the NRC created Forms 361 to provide a templated worksheet for recording the information. NRC licensees are not required to fill out or submit the worksheet, but the form provides the usual order of questions and discussion to enable a licensee to prepare answers for a more clear and complete telephonic notification. Without the templated format of the NRC Forms 361, the information exchange between licensees and NRC Headquarters Operations Officers via telephone could result in delays as well as unnecessary transposition errors.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The previous burden for this collection was 268.5 hours and 537 responses. Based on data from the last three years, the burden is expected to slightly increase to 278 hours and 556 responses (an increase of 9.5 hours and 19 responses). One reporting criterion was added for Materials licensee, but given the few licensees this affects, and the few numbers of reports taken over three years of the criterion, this adds negligible additional burden or cost. The NRC Form 361 hourly rate has increased since the initial clearance from $263/hr to $288/hr.
