Short Statement: The total burden decreased by 50,411.5 hours, from 284,868 to 234,456.5 hours. The burden for both NRC and Agreement State Licensees decreased as follows: --NRC Licensees. The overall burden for NRC licensees decreased by 6,992.24 hours (from 37,681 to 30,688.76). The burden decreased as a result of a decrease in the number of NRC licensees. The actual number of NRC licensees has decreased by 19, from 98 to 79 since the last renewal. --Agreement State Licensees. The burden for Agreement State licensees decreased by 43,419.22 hours (from 247,187 to 203,767.78) due to a decrease in the number of estimated Agreement State licensees. The number of NRC licensees is known, whereas the total number of Agreement State licensees is an estimate based on NRC's best information available from the Agreement States. NRC uses the ratio of the total of NRC licensees (subject to Part 34) to the total number Agreement State licensees to estimate the number of Agreement State respondents for each section. NRC uses this ratio approach as the total number of Agreement State licensees subject to various Part 34 Sections is not known exactly and, therefore, must be estimated. The ratio used to estimate Agreement State respondents changed from 6.6 to 6.7. The number of Agreement State licensees decreased by 118, from 647 to 529. This resulted in a burden decrease of 43,419.22 hours. The current submission has correctly identified all respondents, including licensees reporting information to the NRC as well as those required to retain records. The number of respondents has decreased from 745 to 529 (529 Agreement State licensees plus 79 NRC licensees). Note that licensees reporting information are a subset of the licensees who are recordkeepers, and do not represent an additional group of licensees. The number of responses has increased from 1,116 to 2,803 due to a change in the way certain requirements (34.35(a), 34.35(b), and 34.43(b)(1)&(c)(1)) were classified . This submission correctly identifies these requirements as third-party disclosure requirements and counts each disclosure as a response. Previously, these requirements were identified as recordkeeping requirements, and did not contribute to the number of responses because each recordkeeper is counted as a single recordkeeping response. Identifying these requirements as third-party disclosures resulted in an additional 1,824 responses.
