NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Documents Containing Reporting or

Recordkeeping Requirements: Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

Review

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of

information collection and solicitation

of public comment.

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently

submitted to OMB for review the

following proposal for the collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35).

1. Type of submission, new revision,

or extension: Revision.

2. The title of the information

collection: Proposed Rule—Licensed

Operator Examination Requirements.

3. The form number if applicable: Not

applicable.

4. How often the collection is

required: As needed per power reactor

facility licensee; generally once or less

per year.

5. Who will be required or asked to

report: Those power reactor facility

licensees that require additional

employees to be licensed as reactor

operators or senior reactor operators at

the facility.

6. An estimate of the number of

responses: 60.

7. The estimated number of annual

respondents: 60 power reactor facility

licensees per year.

8. An estimate of the total number of

hours needed annually to complete the

requirement or request: 28,520 hours.

9. An indication of whether Section

3570(d), Pub. L. 104–13 applies:

Applicable.

10. Abstract: In lieu of the NRC

preparing the initial operator licensing

examinations using reference materials

provided by the facility licensees, the

NRC is now proposing to revise 10 CFR

Part 55 to require power reactor facility

licensees to prepare the written

examinations and operating tests and

submit them to the NRC for review. The

NRC would review the examinations

and tests, direct changes as necessary to

maintain acceptable levels of quality,

difficulty, and consistency, and

authorize the facility licensee to

administer and grade the written

examinations. The NRC would continue

to independently administer and grade

the operating tests, review the written

examination grading, and make the

licensing decisions. The NRC would

also retain the authority to prepare the

examinations, as necessary, to maintain

the proficiency of its staff or the quality

of the examinations.

Submit, by September 8, 1997,

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?

2. Is the burden estimate accurate?

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 be minimized,

including the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology?
