Nonsubstantive change request for NRC Form 892, Annual Fatigue Reporting Form

NONSUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST

FOR

10 CFR PART 26, FITNESS-FOR-DUTY PROGRAMS

3150-0146

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires certain licensees and other entities to have a fitness-for-duty (FFD) program that provides reasonable assurance that subject personnel are trustworthy, reliable, and not under the influence of any substance (legal or illegal), or mentally or physically impaired from any cause that could adversely affect their ability to safely and competently perform their duties. The NRC regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 26 prescribe the requirements for a licensee or other entity to establish, implement, and maintain an FFD program.

This clearance includes three Portable Document Form (PDF) electronic reporting forms (i.e., fillable-fileable PDFs):

• NRC Form 890 ­– Single Positive Test Form

• NRC Form 891 ­– Annual Reporting Form for Drug and Alcohol Tests

• NRC Form 892 ­– Annual Fatigue Reporting Form

Licensees and other entities can voluntarily use these fillable-fileable PDFs to report information required under sections 26.417(b)(2) and 26.717 for FFD D&A testing programs, and section 26.203(e) for fatigue management programs. All sites have been using fillable-fileable PDFs since the calendar year 2015 reporting cycle.

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.
