II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 10 
CFR part 55, Operators' Licenses. 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 November 28, 2018 (83 FR 
61169).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 55, 
Operators' Licenses.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0018.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: As necessary 
for the NRC to meet its responsibilities to determine the eligibility 
for applicants and operators.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Holders of, and 
applicants for, facility (i.e., nuclear power and non-power research 
and test reactor) operating licenses and individual operator licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 449 (353 reporting 
responses + 96 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 96.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 172,915 
hours (150,869 hours reporting + 22,046 hours recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: Part 55 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Operators' Licenses,'' specifies information 
and data to be provided by applicants and facility licensees so that 
the NRC may make determinations concerning the licensing and 
requalification of operators for nuclear reactors, as necessary to 
promote public health and safety. The reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements contained in 10 CFR part 55 are mandatory for the affected 
facility licensees and applicants.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of March 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
