Abstract:
In April 2020, the NRC requested an emergency review of this information collection in order to add two forms to the previously approved information collection OMB Control Number 3150-0018 for a period of 6 months. The purpose of the current submission is to request an extension of the approval of the Part 55 Exemption Request and Part 55 Research and Test Reactor Exemption Request Online Forms that simplify the filing the exemption requests because the existing system may be burdensome for licensees under current conditions. Under the existing collection under OMB Control No. 3150-0018, licensees are already able to seek exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, Operators’ Licenses. This information collection only addresses the incremental burden change to this existing clearance due to the form and not the total burden for the clearance. 10 CFR Part 55 contains specific requirements for the licensing of utilization facility operators and senior operators. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 PHE, the NRC will also consider exemption requests for operators and senior operators from the requirements in 10 CFR 55.59(a)(1) (requiring the operators and senior operators to successfully complete the Commission-approved requalification program) and in 10 CFR 55.59(a)(2) (requiring the operators and senior operators to pass a comprehensive requalification written examination and an annual operating test); these exemptions would allow delay of these requalification program requirements during the COVID-19 PHE as allowed by 10 CFR 55.11, “Specific Exemptions.”
