II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently VETS is soliciting
comments concerning a request to
extend the currently approved
information collection request. The
Department of Labor is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks
approval of the extension of the
currently approved information
collection request in order to carry out
its responsibilities to administer and
enforce compliance with the contractor
reporting requirements under VEVRAA,
as amended by the JVA.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Agency: Veterans’ Employment and
Training Service.

II. Background
In accordance with the Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act (GPRAMA) of 2010, agencies are
required to submit their strategic plans
to Congress the year following the start
of a presidential term. The Commission
has approved a draft Strategic Plan and
is now seeking comments from the
public so that the agency may benefit
from a wide range of stakeholder input
to shape the NRC’s strategic direction
for the upcoming planning period.
III. Draft Strategic Plan
The draft Strategic Plan describes the
agency’s mission and its two strategic
goals, which, although slightly
reworded for clarity and readability,
remain fundamentally unchanged from
the current plan. The NRC’s mission is
to license and regulate the Nation’s
civilian use of radioactive materials to
protect the public health and safety,
promote the common defense and
security, and protect the environment.
Its two strategic goals are to ensure the
safe use of radioactive materials and the
secure use of radioactive materials. New
elements of the plan include several
strategic objectives with associated
strategies and key activities that will be
used to achieve the agency’s strategic
goals.
The draft strategies address the key
challenges and external factors the
agency will face as the regulatory
environment continues to change during
the upcoming planning period.
Examples include processing license
applications involving new
technologies, such as small modular
reactors and continued implementation
of enhancements to improve reactor
safety based on insights from the 2011
nuclear accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi.
The continued globalization of nuclear
technology and the nuclear supply
chain is another factor that will affect
the NRC, driving the need for increased
international engagement on the safe
and secure use of radioactive material
and the need for new oversight
approaches to ensure that foreign
components used in U.S. nuclear
