Short Statement:
NRC attributes the increase in burden to a larger number of radioactive material shipments. The NRC reviewed data from the past 4 years and updated estimates for Part 71, based on number of licensees and responses received. Due to variation in casework from year to year, 4 years worth of data was used to estimate this renewal period's annual reporting burden. Based on these data, the overall burden is expected to increase by 16,886 hours from 42,896 to 59,782 hours. Similarly, the reporting burden increased by 16,904 hours from 37,304 to 54,208 hours, while the recordkeeping burden is expected to decrease slightly from 5,592 to 5,574 hours. The total number of responses has increased by 62, from 850 to 912 responses due to a larger number of radioactive material shipments. Following are the most significant changes: The major increases are: Section 71.31 was previously estimated for 14 respondents each with 7 responses, for 29,400 burden hours. The current estimate is for 53 respondents each with 2 responses at 300 hours, for 31,800 hours, an increase of 2,400 hours. Section 71.38(c) increased from 30 to 60 respondents, an increase of 2,400 hours (+30 respondents x 2 responses per respondent x 40 hours per response). Section 71.39 increased from 15 to 56 respondents, an increase of 12,300 hours (+41 respondents x 3 responses per respondent x 100 hours) The major decrease is: Section 71.97(a)(b)(c)&(d) decreased from 100 responses to 2 responses at .9 hours each, a decrease of 88 hours. (-88 responses x .9 hrs, rounded). These two responses are a single licensee reporting a shipment to both the NRC and also making a 3rd party report to a state governor. Note that the large change in respondents was due to a review of past data, which showed that there were very few shipments contained the materials that required notification of a state governors office. Also note that this requirement has now been correctly identified as both a 3rd party reporting requirement and a reporting requirement and is now included in both totals. In addition, the changes in burden cost reflect an increase in NRCs recoverable fee rate increased from $216/hr to $257/hr.
