DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 
Agency Information Collection Extension

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Submission for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review; 
comment request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted an information 
collection request to the OMB for extension under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information collection requests a 
three-year extension of its Human Reliability Program (HRP), OMB 
Control Number 1910-5122. This information collection consists of forms 
that will certify to DOE that respondents were advised of the 
requirements for occupying or continuing to occupy an HRP position. The 
HRP is a security and safety reliability program for individuals who 
apply for or occupy certain positions that are critical to the national 
security. It requires an initial and annual supervisory review, medical 
assessment, management evaluation, and a DOE personnel security review 
of all applicants or incumbents. It is also used to ensure that 
employees assigned to nuclear explosive duties do not have emotional, 
mental, or physical conditions that could result in an accidental or 
unauthorized detonation of nuclear explosives.
