DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Proposed Agency Information Collection Submitted for OMB Review 
and Comment

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

[[Page 66619]]


ACTION: Notice and request for OMB review and comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted the proposed 
collection of information described in this Notice to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). These forms 
will certify to DOE that respondents were advised of the requirements 
for occupying or continuing to occupy a Human Reliability Program (HRP) 
position. The HRP is a new program which merges the Personnel Security 
Assurance Program (PSAP) and the Personnel Assurance Program (PAP) into 
one DOE human reliability program. The HRP forms will be identical to 
the OMB approved PSAP forms, just changing the name of the program. In 
addition to the above, the DOE has requested approval of two new forms, 
the HRP Certification form and the HRP Alcohol Testing form. The HRP 
Certification form is used internally to assure that an individual in 
an HRP position has met all of the annual program requirements. The HRP 
Alcohol Testing form is identical to the Department of Transportation 
(DOT) alcohol testing form with the only change being the insertion of 
the HRP in place of the DOT.

DATES: Comments regarding this collection must be received on or before 
December 2, 2002. If you anticipate that you will be submitting 
comments, but find it difficult to do so within the time period allowed 
by this Notice, please advise the OMB Desk Officer of your intention to 
make a submission as soon as possible. The Desk Officer may be 
telephoned at (202) 395-7318. In addition, please notify the DOE 
contact listed in this Notice.

Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 735 17th Street, NW.,
