II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of 
information to OMB for review entitled, ``Solicitation of Non-Power 
Reactor Operator Licensing Examination Data.'' The NRC hereby informs 
potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 
that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on May 18, 2017, 82 FR 22865.
    1. The title of the information collection: Solicitation of Non-
Power Operator Licensing Examination Data.
    2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been 
assigned to this proposed information collection.
    3. Type of submission: New.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All holders of 
operating licenses for non-power reactors under the provision of part 
50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic 
Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,'' except those that 
have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has 
been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 31.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 31.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 31 (One 
(1) hour per respondent, annually).
    10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting a new clearance to annually 
request all non-power reactor licensees and applicants for an operating 
license to voluntarily send to the NRC: (1) Their projected number of 
candidates for initial operator licensing examinations, and (2) the 
estimated dates of the examinations. This information is used to plan 
budgets and resources in regard to operator examination scheduling in 
order to meet the needs of the non-power nuclear community.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of September 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
