II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Collection of 

Operator Simulator Training 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 

June 27, 2017 (82 FR 29119). 

1. The title of the information 

collection: ‘‘Collection of Operator 

Simulator Training Data.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: xxxx-xxxx. 

3. Type of submission: Voluntary. 

4. The form number if applicable: N/ 

A. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Six per year. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: All holders of, or applicants 

for, a power reactor operating license 

under part 50 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ except those that 

have certified that they have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have permanently removed all fuel from 

the reactor vessel. 

All holders of, or applicants for, a 

power reactor combined license under 

10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 95. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 15. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement 

or request: 411 hours. 

10. Abstract: This information 

collection request is to the holders of, or 

applicants for, a power reactor operating 

license under 10 CFR part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ except those that 

have certified that they have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have permanently removed all fuel from 

the reactor vessel, and the holders of, or 

applicants for, a power reactor 

combined license under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

This information collection is for the 

specified licensees to use the NRCdeveloped Scenario Authoring, 

Characterization and Debriefing 

Application (SACADA) software for 

their operator simulator training. The 

SACADA system was developed to 

collect licensed operator simulator 

training data to inform human reliability 

analysis (HRA) and to facilitate operator 

simulator training. The SACADA 

software can be used to author the 

simulation scenarios, facilitate the post 

simulation debriefing on crew 

performance, guide performance 

analysis, and generate various types of 

reports. The information entered into 

the SACADA database can be used to 

improve simulator training effectiveness 

and HRA. The South Texas Project 

Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) 

has used the software for its operator 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices 45907 

simulator training since 2012 and has 

high regard on the software. The NRC 

welcomes more licensees to partner 

with the NRC to use the software. The 

licensees’ participation in the 

information collection is voluntary. In 

the partnership, the NRC provides the 

SACADA software license, training, and 

technical support to the participating 

licensees, and the participating 

licensees grant NRC access to analyze 

the data to improve the NRC’s HRA 

techniques. An agreement will be 

developed to specify the details. 

To participate in the information 

collection, the licensee will notify the 

NRC contact that it is interested in 

evaluating the software. Then the NRC 

will provide additional information 

including an onsite briefing. If the 

licensee thinks the SACADA software 

could be beneficial, the NRC will 

provide a training session, the software 

license, and technical support for the 

licensee to pilot the use of the software 

in its simulator training. After the pilot 

study, the licensee will decide on 

whether or not to partner with the NRC 

on the information collection. Either 

party can terminate the agreement at 

any time. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day 

of September 2017.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2015–0176] 

Abnormal Occurrence Reports 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Policy revision; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 

to its policy statement on reporting 

abnormal occurrences (AOs) to 

Congress. The revised policy statement 

adds more specific criteria for 

determining those incidents and events 

that the Commission considers 

significant from the standpoint of public 

health or safety for reporting to Congress 

and the public, and makes the policy 

consistent with recent changes to NRC 

regulations. The revised AO criteria 

contain more discrete reporting 

thresholds, making them easier to 

implement and ensuring more 

consistent reporting. 

DATES: This revision to the policy 

statement is effective on October 2, 

2017.

NRC-2015-0176 when contacting the
