``Operators' Licenses''. 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0018. 4. The form number if applicable: NA. 5. How often the collection is required: As necessary for NRC to meet its responsibilities to determine the eligibility of applicants for operators' licenses, prepare or review initial operator licensing and requalification examinations for and performance of simulation facilities. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Holders of, and applicants for, facility (i.e. nuclear power and research and test reactors) operating licenses and individual operators' licenses. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 345. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 243. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 120,377. 10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 55, ``Operators' Licenses,'' of the NRC's regulations, specifies information and data to be provided by applicants and facility licenses 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 licensees and applicants affected.
