solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 396, 
Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 396.
    4. How often the collection is required: Upon application for an 
initial operator license, every six years for the renewal of operator 
or senior operator license, and upon notices of disability.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Facility employers of 
applicants for operator licenses.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1116.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 141.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 730 (244 for reporting [.25 hours 
per response] and 486 hours for recordkeeping [3.4 hours per 
recordkeeper]).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: NRC Form 396 is used to transmit information to the 
NRC regarding the medical condition of applicants for initial or 
renewal operator licenses and for the maintenance of medical records 
for all licensed operators. The information is used to determine 
whether the physical condition and general health of applicants for 
operator licenses is such that the applicant would not be expected to 
cause operational errors endangering public health and safety.
