FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tilda Liu, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001; telephone: 404–997– 4730, email: Tilda.Liu@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated May 4, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23157A101), YAEC submitted a request to the NRC for an exemption from paragraphs 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.75(h)(2) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) for the YNPS Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation 1 (ISFSI). 1 As discussed in this document, the Yankee Rowe ISFSI sits on the former site of Yankee Rowe, which YAEC finished decommissioning in 2007. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:55 May 06, 2024 Jkt 262001 YAEC has established a separate (segregated) account within its overarching NDT, entitled ‘‘ISFSI Radiological Decom,’’ that identifies the funds for radiological decommissioning of the ISFSI apart from the larger balance of funds in the NDT allocated for ongoing management of SNF and GTCC waste and for non-radiological site restoration activities. Although 10 CFR 50.82 applies to the segregated account, it does not apply to the overall NDT. The exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.75(h)(2) allows YAEC to make withdrawals from the segregated account, on an annual basis, for SNF and GTCC waste management and non-radiological site restoration without prior notification to the NRC. More specifically, with this exemption, YAEC can annually transfer funds exceeding 110 percent of the inflationadjusted Decommissioning Cost Estimate, described in 10 CFR 50.75, from the segregated account to its overarching NDT and use those funds for SNF and GTCC waste management and non-radiological site restoration. Based on the review, the NRC determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common defense and security. Also, the NRC determined that special circumstances are present. Therefore, the NRC granted YAEC an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) to permit YAEC to make withdrawals from the segregated account, on an annual basis, for SNF and GTCC waste management and nonradiological site restoration without prior notification to the NRC. All other relevant requirements shall be met. On April 11, 2024, the NRC issued an exemption for YAEC (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML23298A052). The NRC staff also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact regarding the proposed exemption request, published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2024 (89 FR 24877), and concluded that the proposed exemption would not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Although only the Yankee Rowe ISFSI remains on the site, YAEC’s 10 CFR part 50 license, Facility Operating License No. DPR–3, remains in effect. Because YAEC requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, this would be an exemption for YAEC’s 10 CFR part 50 license rather than for YAEC’s 10 CFR part 72 general license. Therefore, although YAEC’s submission requested an exemption for the Yankee Rowe ISFSI, the NRC staff will consider it a request for an exemption for YNPS.

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: 10 CFR part 26, 
``Fitness for Duty Programs.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0146.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 890, ``Single Positive 
Test Form''; NRC Form 891, ``Annual Reporting Form for Drug and Alcohol 
Tests''; and NRC Form 892, ``Annual Fatigue Reporting Form.''
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually and 
on occasion. The NRC receives reports on an annual basis that detail 
the Fitness for Duty (FFD) Program performance. The NRC also receives, 
on occasion, reports associated with FFD policy violations or 
programmatic failures. Depending on the type of violation or 
programmatic failure, the report would be made within 24 hours of the 
event occurrence, or within 30 days of completing an investigation into 
a programmatic failure.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Nuclear power reactor 
licensees licensed under 10 CFR part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities'' and 10 CFR part 52, ``Licenses, 
Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants'' (except those 
who have permanently ceased operations and have verified that fuel has 
been permanently removed from the reactor); all holders of nuclear 
power plant construction permits and early site permits with a limited 
work authorization and applicants for nuclear power plant construction 
permits that have a limited work authorization under the provisions of 
10 CFR part 50; all holders of a combined license for a nuclear power 
plant issued under 10 CFR part 52 and applicants for a combined license 
that have a limited work authorization; all licensees who are 
authorized to possess, use, or transport formula quantities of 
strategic special nuclear material (SSNM) under the provisions of 10 
CFR part 70, ``Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material''; all 
holders of a certificate of compliance of an approved compliance plan 
issued under 10 CFR part 76 ``Certification of Gaseous Diffusion 
Plants,'' if the holder engages in activities involving formula 
quantities of SSNM; and all contractor/vendors (C/Vs) who implement FFD 
programs or program elements to the extent that the licensees and other 
entities listed in this paragraph rely on those C/V FFD programs or 
program elements to comply with 10 CFR part 26.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 324,646 responses (254 
reporting responses + 49 recordkeepers + 324,343 third-party disclosure 
responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 64,392 respondents 
(28 drug and alcohol testing programs + 21 fatigue management programs 
+ 64,343 third party respondents).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 540,050 (5,301 hours 
reporting + 169,746 hours recordkeeping + 365,003 hours third-party 
disclosure)
    10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 26 prescribe 
requirements to establish, implement, and maintain FFD programs at 
affected licensees and other entities. The objectives of these 
requirements are to provide reasonable assurance that persons subject 
to the rule are trustworthy, reliable, and not under the influence of 
any substance, legal or illegal, or mentally or physically impaired 
from any cause, which in any way could adversely affect their ability 
to safely and competently perform their duties. These requirements also 
provide reasonable assurance that the effects of fatigue and degraded 
alertness on individual's abilities to safely and competently perform 
their duties are managed commensurate with maintaining public health 
and safety. The information collections required by 10 CFR part 26 are 
necessary to properly manage FFD programs and to enable effective and 
efficient regulatory oversight of affected licensees and other 
entities. These licensees and other entities must perform certain 
tasks, maintain records, and submit reports to comply with 10 CFR part
