Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0024.
    3. How often the collection is required: Upon application for an 
initial operator license, every six years for the renewal of operator 
or senior operator licenses, and upon notices of disability.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Facility employers of 
applicants for operator licenses.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 975.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
