health and safety. The reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements contained 

in 10 CFR part 55 are mandatory for the 

affected facility licensees and 

applicants. In addition, the information 

collection includes two online forms for 

requesting exemptions from 

requirements for part 55 ‘‘Exemption 

Request’’ and part 55 ‘‘Research and 

Test Reactor Exemption Request related 

to the COVID–19 Public Health

by the online form is the minimum 

needed by the NRC to make a 

determination on the acceptability of 

the licensee’s request for an exemption. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments

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 estimate of the burden of the 

information collection 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 on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?
