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: Operators' Licenses.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0018.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As necessary 
for the NRC to meet its responsibilities to determine the eligibility 
for applicants and operators.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Holders of, and 
applicants for, facility (i.e., nuclear power and non-power research 
and test reactor) operating licenses and individual operator licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 449 (353 reporting 
responses + 96 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 96.

    10. Abstract: Part 55 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Operators' Licenses,'' specifies information 
and data to be provided by applicants and facility licensees so that 
the NRC may make determinations concerning the licensing and 
requalification of operators for nuclear reactors, as necessary to 
promote public health and safety. The reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements contained in 10 CFR part 55 are mandatory for the affected 
facility licensees and applicants.

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?
