    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 396.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Upon 
application for an initial or upgrade license; every 6 years for the

operator license, and notices of disability that occur during licensed 
tenure.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Facility licensees who 
are tasked with certifying the medical fitness or operator licensee.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,650.

applicants for operator licensees is such that the applicant would not 
be expected to cause operational errors and endanger public health and 
safety.
