Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 178 / Friday, September 17, 2021 / Notices 51925 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

NUREG–1021, Revision 12, ‘‘Operator 

Licensing Examination Standards for 

Power Reactors,’’ provides policies, 

procedures, and guidance for the 

development, administration, and 

grading of examinations used for 

licensing operators at nuclear power 

reactor facilities under the 

Commission’s regulations in part 55 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), ‘‘Operators’ 

Licenses.’’ This NUREG also provides 

guidance for maintaining operators’ 

licenses and for the NRC to conduct 

requalification examinations when 

necessary. The NRC is issuing Revision 

12 of this NUREG to (1) streamline 

information into topic-based sections for 

ease of use, (2) clarify instructions for 

the identification and grading of 

performance deficiencies on the 

operating test, (3) revise instructions for 

the selection of critical tasks and the 

assessment of critical and significant 

performance deficiencies, and (4) 

implement changes to support the 

testing of fundamentals topics on the 

site-specific initial licensing 

examination instead of in a separate 

generic fundamentals examination. 

II. Additional Information 

Revision 12 of NUREG–1021 replaces 

Revision 11 of NUREG–1021. Draft 

NUREG–1021, Revision 12, was

comments are documented in ADAMS 

under Accession No. ML21211A578.

Office of Management and Budget has 

not found it to be a major rule as 

defined in the Congressional Review
