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,
``Fitness-for-Duty Programs.'' 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 (FR) notice with a 60-day
comment period on this information collection on June 1, 2017, 82 FR
25345.
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 26,
``Fitness-for-Duty Programs.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0146.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 890, ``Single Positive
Test Form,'' NRC Form 891, ``Annual Reporting Form for Drug and Alcohol
Tests,'' and NRC Form 892, ``Annual Fatigue Reporting Form.''
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually and
on occasion. The NRC receives reports on an annual basis that detail
fitness-for-duty (FFD) program performance. The NRC also receives, on
occasion, reports associated with FFD policy violations or programmatic
failures. Depending on the type of violation or programmatic failure,
the report would be made within 24 hours of the event occurrence, or
within 30 days of completing an investigation into the programmatic
failure.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Nuclear power reactor
licensees licensed under parts 50 and 52 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) (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 licensees 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/Vs) who implement 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.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 441,833 responses (215
reporting responses + 49 recordkeepers + 441,569 third-party disclosure
responses).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 88,229 respondents
(28 drug and alcohol testing programs + 21 fatigue management programs
+ 88,180 third-party disclosure respondents).
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
comply with the information collection requirement or request:
719,195.9 hours (6,168.0 hours reporting + 220,998.5 hours
recordkeeping + 492,029.4 hours third-party disclosure).
10. Abstract: The NRC's regulations in 10 CFR part 26 prescribe
requirements to establish, implement, and maintain FFD 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 individuals' abilities to safely and competently perform
their duties are managed commensurate with maintaining public health
and safety. The information collections required by 10 CFR part 26 are
necessary to properly manage FFD programs and to enable effective and
efficient regulatory oversight of affected licensees and other
entities. These licensees and other entities must perform certain
tasks, maintain records, and submit reports to comply with 10 CFR part
26 drug and alcohol and fatigue management requirements. These records
and reports are necessary to enable regulatory inspection and
evaluation of a licensee's or other entity's compliance with NRC
regulations, FFD performance, and significant FFD-related events to
help maintain public health and safety, promote the common defense and
security, and protect the environment.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of September, 2017.
