Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden (reporting and recordkeeping) has decreased by 2,996 hours, from 8,077 hours to 5,081 hours. This change is due to the following: i. The total number of grant/cooperative agreement respondents decreased from 350 respondents to 218 respondents due to a decrease in the number of active financial assistance awards. As a result, the number of respondents (recipients) required to submit Program Technical Performance reports have decreased from 350 to 218. ii. Reporting Program Technical Performance is required biannually, resulting in a decrease in the total number of responses from 700 (350 respondents reporting 2 times per year) to 436 (218 respondents reporting 2 times per year). As a result of the above changes, the total number of burden hours for reporting decreased by a total of 2,798 hours. The specific changes (decreases in burden hours) are as follows: The burden for Reporting Program Technical Performance decreased from 7,420 hours (350 respondents x 2 annual responses x 10.6 burden hours) to 4,622 hours (218 respondents x 2 annual responses x 10.6 burden hours), a decrease of 2,798 hours. In addition, the total number of recordkeeping hours decreased from 537 hours to 339 hours, a decrease of 198 hours. There has been an increase in burden cost due to the increase in the NRC's standard fee recoverable rate for materials licensees from $259 per hour to $272 per hour, which is used to calculate burden cost. Finally, the burdens associated with the requirements that are submitted on the Standard Forms (below) are not included in this collection. The burden for these requirements is covered under other OMB clearances.
