request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) and solicitation of public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC invites public 

comment about our intention to request 

the OMB’s approval for renewal of an 

existing information collection that is 

summarized below. We are required to 

publish this notice in the Federal 

Register under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Information pertaining to the 

requirement to be submitted: 

1. The title of the information 

collection: 10 CFR Part 26, ‘‘Fitness for 

Duty Programs.’’ 

2. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0146. 

3. How often the collection is 

required: Annually and on occasion. 

4. Who is required or asked to report: 

Nuclear power reactor licensees 

licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 or 52 

(except those who have permanently 

ceased operations and have verified that 

fuel has been permanently removed 

from the reactor); all holders of nuclear 

power plant construction permits and 

early site permits with a limited work 

authorization and applicants for nuclear 

power plant construction permits that 

have a limited work authorization under 

the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50; all 

holders of a combined license for a 

nuclear power plant issued under 10 

CFR Part 52 and applicants for a 

combined license that have a limited 

work authorization; all licensee who are 

authorized to possess, use, or transport 

formula quantities of strategic special 

nuclear material (SSNM) under the 

provisions of 10 CFR Part 70; all holders 

of a certificate of compliance of an 

approved compliance plan issued under 

10 CFR Part 76, if the holder engages in 

activities involving formula quantities 

of SSNM; and all contractor/vendors (C/ 

V) who implement fitness-for-duty 

(FFD) programs or program elements to 

the extent that the licensees and other 

entities listed in this paragraph rely on 

those C/V FFD programs or program 

elements to comply with 10 CFR Part 

26. 

5. The number of annual respondents: 

89,510 (27 reactor programs + 2 

contractor/vendors + 2 fuel cycle 

facilities plus 1 Subpart K construction 

FFD program respondent plus 10 HHScertified laboratories plus 89,468 thirdparty respondents) 

6. The number of hours needed 

annually to complete the requirement or 

request: 666,824 (6,615 reporting plus

7. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 

CFR Part 26 prescribe requirements to 

establish, implement, and maintain 

fitness-for-duty programs at affected 

licensees and other entities. The 

objectives of these requirements are to 

provide reasonable assurance that 

persons subject to the rule are 

trustworthy, reliable, and not under the 

influence of any substance, legal or 

illegal, or mentally or physically 

impaired from any cause, which in any 

way could adversely affect their ability 

to safely and competently perform their 

duties. These requirements also provide 

reasonable assurance that the effects of 

fatigue and degraded alertness on 

individual’s abilities to safely and 

competently perform their duties are 

managed commensurate with 

maintaining public health and safety. 

The information collections required by 

Part 26 are necessary to properly 

manage FFD programs and to enable 

effective and efficient regulatory 

oversight of affected licensees other 

entities. These licensees and other 

entities must perform certain tasks, 

maintain records, and submit reports to 

comply with Part 26 drug and alcohol 

provisions and fatigue management 

requirements. These records and reports 

are necessary to enable regulatory 

inspection and evaluation of a licensee’s 

or entity’s compliance with NRC 

regulations, its FFD performance, and of 

any significant FFD-related event to 

help maintain public health and safety, 

promote the common defense and 

security, and protect the environment. 

Submit, by December 13, 2010, 

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?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

62894 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2010 / Notices 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), 

entitled, ‘‘Qualification for Cement 

Grouting for Prestressing Tendons in 

Containment Structures,’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1196, 

which should be mentioned in all 

related correspondence. DG–1196 is 

proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory 

Guide 1.107, dated February 1977. 

This guide describes a method that 

the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) considers acceptable 

for the use of Portland cement grout as 

the corrosion inhibitor for prestressing 

tendons in prestressed concrete 

containment structures. This guide also 

provides quality standards for using 

portland cement grout to protect 

prestressing steel from corrosion. 

The prestressing tendon system of a 

prestressed concrete containment 

structure is a principal strength element 

of the structure. The ability of the 

containment structure to withstand the 

events postulated to occur during the 

life of the structure depends on the 

functional reliability of the structure’s 

principal strength elements. Thus, any 

significant deterioration of the 

prestressing elements caused by 

corrosion may present a potential risk to 

public safety. It is important that any 

system for inhibiting the corrosion of 

prestressing elements must possess a 

high degree of reliability in performing 

its intended function. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–1196. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–1196 in the subject line. Comments 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS). 

Because your comments will not be 

edited to remove any identifying or 

contact information, the NRC cautions 

you against including any information 

in your submission that you do not want 

to be publicly disclosed. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of the following methods. 

Please include Docket ID NRC–2010– 

0321 in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments submitted in 

writing or in electronic form will be 

posted on the NRC Web site and on the 

Federal rulemaking Web site 

Regulations.gov. Because your 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information, 

the NRC cautions you against including 

any information in your submission that 

you do not want to be publicly 

disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed.
