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 26 drug and alcohol and fatigue management requirements. These records and reports are necessary to enable regulatory inspection and evaluation of a licensee’s or other entity’s compliance with NRC regulations, FFD performance, and significant FFD-related events to help maintain public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment. When the most recent renewal was submitted (8/1/2024), the NRC Form 892 was inadvertently left out of the ROCIS upload. However, the form was properly publicly noticed for comment in both the 60-day and 30-day Federal Register Notices and made available for public review on the docket (NRC-2023-0169). In addition, no changes were made to the form were made since the form was submitted with the previous renewal in March 2021 (approved 9/29/2021). The purpose of this nonsubstantive change request is to include the NRC Form 892 in the Part 26 clearance.
