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. 
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on February 19, 2014.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 26, 
``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 
part 76, if the entity engages in activities involving formula 
quantities of SSNM; (3) combined license applicants (10 CFR part 52) 
who have been issued a limited work authorization (LWA, Sec.  
50.10(e)); combined license holders before the Commission has made the 
finding under of Sec.  52.103(g); construction permit applicants who 
have been issued a LWA (Sec.  50.10) and construction permit holders 
(10 CFR part 50); and, early site permit holders who have been issued 
an LWA, all under specific circumstances; and, (4) contractor/vendors 
(C/V) who implement fitness-for-duty (FFD) programs or program

those C/V FFD programs or program elements to meet the requirements of 
this part.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 411,209 (129 
reporting responses + 411,015 third-party disclosure responses + 65 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 98,630 respondents 
(30 drug and alcohol programs + 23 fatigue management programs + 12 
HHS-certified laboratories + 98,565 third-party respondents).
    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.
