Abstract:
General requirements for radiation protection, that are applicable to all NRC licensees, are contained in 10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation. These standards are based, in part, upon the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and incorporate Federal Guidance issued by the former Federal Radiation Council and the Environmental Protection Agency. Provisions of Part 20 apply to individuals licensed by the NRC to possess byproduct, source, or special nuclear material. Part 20 also contains criteria for decommissioning of facilities and termination of the facility license. Part 20 is intended to ensure that occupationally exposed individuals and members of the public are adequately protected from the potential hazards of exposure to radiation and/or radioactive materials. This clearance package covers the requirements for all sections of 10 CFR Part 20. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements for possession of material have been centralized into two Subparts: Subpart L -- Records (20.2102 - 2110) and Subpart M -- Reports (20.2201-2206). Cross references to the recordkeeping requirements appear in other related portions of the Part 20 rule, but these cross references do not constitute separate recordkeeping requirements. Recordkeeping and reporting requirements for license termination are contained in Subpart E. Two record retention periods appear in Part 20: 3 year retention for most survey records and retention for the lifetime of an active NRC license for those records of doses (or records that provide a basis for dose estimates) received by individual workers or members of the public.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
There is a decrease in the estimated total burden from 138,094 to 110,244 hours (change of 27,850 hours). This decrease is due to a decrease (1,037) in the number of NRC licensees required to report and keep records (a decrease from 4,777 respondents to 3,740 respondents). In addition, in the 2006 revision to the approved collection there was a one-time reporting requirement (3,600 burden hours) which is no longer applicable. This one time reporting requirement (Paragraph 20.2207(h)) required licensees, in possession of International Atomic Energy Agency Category 1 and/or Category 2 nationally tracked source, to report its initial inventory to the National Source Tracking System by January 31, 2009. This has been completed. In addition, there is an increase in the cost per hour rate to $238. The reductions captured in this renewal package were primarily due to agency adjustments which resulted in a decrease of 1,587 responses; and a decrease in burden of 24,250 hours. Additionally, the remainder of the reductions are due to agency discretion, which resulted in a decrease of 450 responses; and a decrease in burden of 3,600 hours. Thus, the overall reductions were 2,037 responses, from 7,539 to 5,502 responses and 27,850 burden hours from 138,094 to 110,244 hours.
