COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to
submit an information collection
request to OMB and solicitation of
public comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a
submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information
collections under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the
requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information
collection: 10 CFR Part 26, ‘‘Fitness for
Duty Program.’’
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0146.
3. How often the collection is
required: On occasion.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
All licensees authorized to construct or
operate a nuclear power reactor; all
licensees authorized to use, possess, or
transport Category 1 nuclear material;
and contractors/vendors who have
developed a fitness-for-duty program
that is formally reviewed and approved
by a licensee, which meets the
requirements of part 26.
5. The number of annual respondents:
69.
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 61,143 (5,853 hours reporting
[an average of 4.3 hours/response] and
55,290 hours recordkeeping [an average
of 801 hours/recordkeeper]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 26, ‘‘Fitness
for Duty Program,’’ requires licensees of
nuclear power plants, contractors/
vendors who have developed a fitnessfor-duty program that is formally
reviewed by a licensee, and licensees
authorized to possess, use, or transport
Category 1 nuclear material to
implement fitness-for-duty programs to
assure that personnel are not under the
influence of any substance or mentally
or physically impaired, to retain certain
records associated with the management
of these programs, and to provide
reports concerning significant events
and program performance. Compliance
with these program requirements is
mandatory for licensees subject to 10
CFR part 26. In addition, licensees of
nuclear power plants are required to
comply with security order EA–03–038,
which implements work hour controls

for security force personnel and requires
licensees to retain certain records
associated with the management of this
security order.
Submit, by July 25, 2005, comments
that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC
toproperly perform its functions? Does
the information have practical utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
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 be minimized,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?

Comments and questions about the
information collection requirements
may be directed to the NRC Clearance
Officer, Brenda Jo. Shelton, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, T–5 F53,

Operating Company, Inc. (the licensee)
for operation of the Joseph M. Farley
Nuclear Plant (FNP), Units 1 and 2,
located in Houston County, Alabama.
The proposed amendments would
revise FNP, Units 1 and 2 Technical
Specifications Plant Systems Section 3.7
and Design Features Section 4.3 to
establish spent fuel cask storage area
boron concentration limits and to
restrict the minimum burn up of spent
fuel assemblies associated with spent
fuel cask loading operations.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendments, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) section 50.92, this means that
operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments would
not (1) involve a significant increase in
the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3)
involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
hazards consideration, which is
presented below:
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day
of May, 2005.

1. Does the proposed change involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated?
Cask loading operations will not require
any physical changes to part 50 structures,
systems, or components, nor will their
performance requirements be altered. The
potential to handle a spent fuel cask was
considered in the original design of the plant.
Therefore, the response of the plant to
previously analyzed Part 50 accidents and
related radiological releases will not be
adversely impacted, and will bound those
postulated during cask loading activities in
the cask storage area. Accordingly, the
proposed changes do not involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated.
2. Does the proposed change create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously
evaluated?
Existing fuel handling procedures and
associated administrative controls remain
applicable for cask loading operations.
Additionally, the soluble boron
concentration required to maintain Keff ≤ 0.95
for postulated criticality accidents associated
with cask loading operations was also
