of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on February 19, 2014.

``Fitness-for-Duty Programs.''

4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required: Annually and on occasion.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: (1) Licensees
authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor; (2) licensees authorized
to possess, use, or transport formula quantities of strategic special
nuclear material (SSNM) under part 70 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 FR); Corporations, firms, partnerships, limited
liability companies, associations, or other organizations that obtain a
certificate of compliance or an approved compliance plan under 10 CFR

reporting responses + 411,015 third-party disclosure responses + 65
recordkeepers).

9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 623,943.1 hours (6,165.0 hours
reporting + 314,218.8 hours recordkeeping + 303,559.1 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 individual's abilities to safely and competently perform
their duties are managed commensurate with maintaining public health
and safety. The information collections required by part 26 are
necessary to properly manage FFD programs and to enable effective and
efficient regulatory oversight of affected licensees other entities.
These licensees and other entities must perform certain tasks, maintain
records, and submit reports to comply with part 26 drug and alcohol
provisions and fatigue management requirements. These records and
reports are necessary to enable regulatory inspection and evaluation of
a licensee's or entity's compliance with the NRC's regulations, its FFD
performance, and of any significant FFD-related event to help maintain
public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and
protect the environment.
