II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized as
follows.
1. The title of the information collection: Human Performance Test
Facility.
2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been
assigned to this proposed information collection.
3. Type of submission: New.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: The potential
respondent universe consists of NRC staff (defined as full-time
permanent staff and management level personnel, licensed plant
operators, summer interns, and co-operative education students).
Respondents may be selected to cover a broad sample or to include
specific characteristics (i.e., individual differences such as operator
experience) in order to facilitate research aims.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 300.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 300.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 300.
10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting OMB approval of a plan for a
generic collection of information. The need and practicality of the
collection can be evaluated, but the details of the specific individual
collections will not be known until a later time. In accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the NRC is seeking public comment
on approval of data collections for the Human Performance Test
Facility. The purpose of the data collections submitted under this
generic clearance will be to address research gaps in human performance
and human reliability analysis in the nuclear domain and contribute to
our understanding of various cognitive and physical elements that
facilitate interactions with state-of-the-art technology and support
safe control room operation. Research findings from these data
collections will support informational needs of the NRC and ensure that
our human factors engineering guidance documents and human risk
analysis methods support the review and evaluation of ``state-of-the-
art'' human factors programs.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility? Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate? Please explain your answer.
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of
[[Page 104234]]
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology?
