The NRC is commencing an effort to
identify vendors of safety-related parts and services to nuclear
power plants both directly (vendors) and indirectly (sub-vendors).
For the purpose of this document, the term vendor includes
supplier. The NRC licensees and applicants are responsible for the
safety of facilities licensed by the NRC. As such, they are
responsible for ensuring that their vendors meet applicable
regulations and requirements, both technical and quality, in
purchase documents. In order to ensure that licensees are meeting
the regulatory requirements in this area, the NRC inspects vendors
to evaluate their conformance with technical and quality
requirements in part 21 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), "Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance," and
Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants
and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, as required by
procurement contracts with licensees. There is no requirement for
vendors to register with the NRC. This collection will assist the
NRC in assessing the number and variety of vendors of
safety-related parts and services for resource and vendor
inspection planning. As part of that effort, the NRC plans to (1)
issue a communication to power reactor licensee and applicants
requesting the voluntary submittal of vendor information and (2)
create a webpage on its public web site that allows vendor and
sub-vendor information to be submitted individually. When power
reactor licensee and applicants respond either by submitting their
information by mail or online they will be asked to provide the
following information: vendor names, vendor addresses, vendor
points of contact, vendor point of contact e-mail address, vendor
telephone number, scope of supply, and comments. Additionally,
Vendors will also be able to use this webpage voluntarily to
complete self registration.
The collection is a new
collection that will enable the NRC to collect information to
inform resource and vendor inspection planning. This information
will also help improve the communication link between the agency
and vendors. Power reactor licensees and vendors will submit their
names, addresses, points of contact, point of contact e-mail
address, telephone number, scope of supply, and comments. That will
result in 183.5 additional burden hours to licensees and vendors to
submit the previous stated information to the NRC
