Short Statement:
Even though the number of reporting facilities decreased from 135 to 131 due to decommissioning, the overall number of submissions decreased by only 25 from 2,025 to 2,000 because the number of applicants decreased from 700 to 660; the number of renewals decreased from 705 to 700, but the number of disability reports increased from 620 to 640. The overall annual industry reporting burden increased by 655.5 hours from 1,012.5 hours to 1,668 hours because the time to complete and submit the NRC Form 396 increased by .334 hour (20 minutes) from .50 hour (30 minutes) to .834 hour (50 minutes) as reported by the industry. The overall annual recordkeeping requirement burden increased from 202.5 hours to 300 hours because the time involved for each record subject to annual maintenance increased by .05 hour (3 minutes) from .10 hour (6 minutes) to .15 hour (9 minutes) as reported by the industry. The change in the rate from $273/hr. to $279/hr. had little impact on the costs. The overall annual industry and Federal Government costs increased by $114,472.75 from $516,107.25 to $630,580 because of the increased costs as reported by the industry, and the increase in the cost of the NRC Medical Review Officer's services. The change in the rate from $273/hr. to $279/hr. had little impact on the costs.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
