Short Statement: The estimated annual public burden increased by 564 hours from 929 hours up to 1,493 hours. The annual responses increased by 225 responses, from 2,945 responses to 3,170 responses. There have been no changes to the requirements under 10 CFR Part 110 that would affect public burden. One change was made to the table listing the estimated hours per response. The category for responses using no forms was removed because all respondents now use either NRC forms or custom forms. The NRC also increased the estimated number of annual responses in the table to reflect an increase in annual activity subject to the notification requirement. The activities captured under the various 110.50(c) entries in Table 1 is the time required to transmit the data to the NRC via the email address of the Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO.HOC@nrc.gov). The number of individual respondents decreased by 29, from 136 to 107 from the previous review cycle. The main reason for the reduction in respondents is the expanded use of x-ray devices in place of cesium-137 irradiators in the US, and the resulting reduction in export authorizations needed to return disused cesium-137 sources to the supplier in Canada. The primary reason for the modest increase in responses is due to a different method of estimating the total number of annual responses. The actual number of advanced notifications required in 110.50(c) and submitted by respondents for the most recent yearly quarter was aggregated and then multiplied by four to represent annual responses. The method used previously resulted in less reliable estimates. Use of the NRC notification forms continues to increase as new respondents are encouraged to use the standard form and not to develop their own forms. Respondents who ship radioisotopes with shorter half-lives must submit many more notifications than respondents who ship radioisotopes with longer half-lives and benefit the most from development of custom forms or other automated notification capabilities. The NRC notification forms only became available years after the notification requirement was implemented. As a result, some respondents are reluctant to adopt use of the form as it would be of no benefit to their operations. However, new respondents prefer to use NRC forms, as they serve as a template for the required data elements and therefore reduces errors. The cost increase also reflects an increase in the annual labor cost for reactor and materials licensees from $263 to $275 per hour. There have been no regulatory changes made that would result in a change in the information being collected. In light of a recent change to eliminate processing fees for licenses, minor changes will be made to the instructions on the NRC Form 7. There are no changes needed to the other NRC forms used to obtain information.
