Abstract: 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.

Short Statement: 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
