The NRC annually requests all commercial power reactor licensees and applicants for an operating license to voluntarily send to the NRC: (1) their projected number of candidates for operator licensing initial examinations, (2) the estimated dates of the examinations, (3) information on whether the examinations will be facility developed or NRC developed, and (4) the estimated number of individuals that will participate in the Generic Fundamentals Examination (GFE) for that calendar year. NRC uses an official form, NRC Form 536, for the voluntary reporting of this operator licensing examination projection data. The estimated burden is one hour per respondent annually. As part of Project AIM (an NRC effort to streamline processes for efficiency and budget reduction purposes), the Commission changed the Generic Fundamentals Examination schedule from the examination being given quarterly to bi-annually. This change does not affect the numbers of candidates for the examination, nor does it affect the reporting frequency (annually) for the NRC Form 536. The NRC is requesting a nonsubstantive change to the NRC Form 536 to make the form consistent with new examination schedules. Section C of the form, ”Proposed Generic Fundamentals Examination (GFE) Schedule” currently includes boxes for licensees to report the number of candidates proposed to take the GFE in March, June, September, and December. The revised form would only include boxes for reporting the number of candidates proposed for the testing dates of March and September, because the June and December tests have been eliminated. This change would not affect the burden for completing the form. Respondents would continue to report the data annually, and the estimated burden remains one hour per response.

The burden hours decreased from 1 hour to 0.75 hour as a result of the deletion of the previously required estimates for the GFE. The respondents change from 105 to 100 due to decommissioning of 5 power reactor facilities since 2014. The cost burden decreased because of the decrease in fee rate from $272 to $265.
