II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 398, 
``Personal Qualification Statement--Licensee.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0090.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 398.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Upon 
application for an initial or upgrade operator license and every six 
years for the renewal of operator or senior operator licenses.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Facility licensees who 
are tasked with certifying that the applicants and renewal operators 
are qualified to be licensed as reactor operators and senior reactor 
operators.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,500.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,500.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 7,225.
    10. Abstract: NRC Form 398 is used to transmit detailed information 
required to be submitted to the NRC by a facility licensee on each 
applicant applying for new and upgraded licenses or license renewals to 
operate the controls at a nuclear reactor facility. This information is 
used to determine that each applicant or renewal operator seeking a 
license or renewal of a license is qualified to be issued a license, 
and that the licensed operator would not be expected to cause 
operational errors and endanger public health and safety.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking 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 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?
