SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork

information collection request with the Office of
[[Page 80759]]
Management and Budget (OMB). Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
extended collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology. This information collection request pertains to the Human
Reliability Program (HRP). This information collection request consists
of forms that will certify to DOE that respondents were advised of the
requirements for occupying or continuing to occupy a HRP position. The
forms include: Human Reliability Program Certification (DOE F 470.3),
Acknowledgement and Agreement to Participate in the Human Reliability
Program (DOE F 470.4), Authorization and Consent to Release Human
Reliability Program (HRP) Records in Connection with HRP (DOE F 470.5),
Refusal of Consent (DOE F 470.6), and Human Reliability Program (HRP)
Alcohol Testing Form (DOE F 470.7). The HRP is a security and safety
reliability program for individuals who apply for or occupy certain
positions that are critical to the national security. It requires an
initial and annual supervisory review, medical assessment, management
evaluation, and a DOE personnel security review of all applicants or
incumbents. It is also used to ensure that employees assigned to
nuclear explosive duties do not have emotional, mental, or physical
conditions that could result in an accidental or unauthorized
detonation of nuclear explosives.
