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 below. 1. The title of the information collection: Collection of Operator Simulator Training Data. 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: Licensees will provide a one-time response expressing their interest in participating. The NRC staff anticipates that the participating licensees would provide data six times per year. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: U.S. nuclear power stations with an onsite reactor simulator. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 95 (15 one-time responses + 90 annual responses). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information: 411 hours. 10. Abstract: The NRC’s Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (NRC/RES) and the South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company jointly developed the Scenario Authoring, Characterization, and Debriefing Application (SACADA) software for operator simulator training. The SACADA collects operator simulator performance information that can be used to improve simulator training and human reliability analysis. The NRC/ RES is making the SACADA software PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 available to licensees for their voluntary use. The licensees interested in participating in using the software will contact the NRC. The NRC will provide free software licenses, training, and technical support to facilitate the licensee’s use of the software. The participating licensees would provide data approximately six times per year according to their training cycle to a master database currently maintained by the Idaho National Laboratory and sponsored by the NRC. The licensees would agree to let the NRC analyze the data for improving human reliability analysis techniques. 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? 2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 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 on respondents be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing a new guide in the NRC's ``Regulatory Guide'' 
series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the 
public information regarding methods that are acceptable to the NRC 
staff for implementing specific parts of the agency's regulations, 
techniques that the NRC staff uses in evaluating specific issues or 
postulated events, and data that the NRC staff needs in its review of 
applications for permits and licenses.
    Revision 0 of RG 1.164 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17041A206) was issued 
with a temporary identification of Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1292 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15313A425). This RG proposes new guidance that 
describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable in meeting 
regulatory requirements for dedication of commercial-grade items used 
in nuclear power plants.

II. Additional Information

    The NRC published a notice of the availability of DG-1292 in the 
Federal Register on July 8, 2016 (81 FR 44670), for a 60-day public 
comment period. The public comment period closed on September 6, 2016. 
Public comments on DG-1292 and the staff responses to the public 
comments are available under ADAMS under Accession No. ML17041A202.

III. Congressional Review Act

    This RG is a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not 
found it to be a major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    Regulatory Guide 1.164, Revision 0, describes a method that the 
staff of the NRC considers acceptable for dedication of commercial-
grade items for use in nuclear power plants. Issuance of this RG does 
not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit 
Rule) and is not otherwise be inconsistent with the issue finality 
provisions in 10 CFR part 52. As discussed in the ``Implementation'' 
section of this RG, the NRC has no current intention to impose this RG 
on holders of current operating licenses or combined licenses.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of June 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Chief Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division of
