Terms of Clearance: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved for three years. To request approval of information collections under this generic approval, the agency must do the following: 1) Unless an agency is using multiple modes of collection (e.g., paper forms and electronic submissions), provide a Generic Clearance Submission Template for each Instrument; 2) If the agency is using multiple modes of collection (e.g., paper forms and electronic submissions), the same Generic Clearance Submission Template may be used for both instruments; 3) each Generic Clearance Submission Template must be uploaded as a Supplementary document using a naming convention that allows the public to identify the associated instrument; 4) submit no more than five Generic Submission Templates with each request. In addition, NRC is reminded that this generic should only be used for collections that are voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial. All other collections of information should be submitted either as separate ICRs or, if appropriate, as emergency requests.

Short Statement: The burden for the 3-year clearance period has increased from 8,424 hours and 1,053 responses to 14,976 hours and 1,872 responses, an increase of 6,552 hours and 819 responses. The NRC is renewing this clearance prior to the current expiration date due to a higher than anticipated depletion rate of the estimated burden “bank” for this clearance’s generic information collections (IC). This is due to several unexpected higher burden ICs and the method used to calculate burden. • During the last clearance period, submissions of generic ICs (Agreement State letters) to OMB included burden for all potential respondents (100% of Agreement States), rather than the anticipated 30% of Agreement States who were anticipated to respond. To rectify this, the NRC staff has modified the generic submission template used to submit these requests so that it includes a calculation for anticipated response rate. • To further ensure that the agency’s “bank” of hours for this clearance is not prematurely depleted prior to the end of the clearance period, the NRC staff has increased the total burden to an estimate more reflective of recent activities, assuming that the agency will continue to request comments from Agreement States at the same current annual rate. In addition, the staff hourly rate increased from $263 to $275 per hour.
