Abstract: Part 19 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), requires licensees to advise workers on an annual basis of any radiation exposure in excess of 1 mSv (100 mrem) they may have received as a result of NRC-licensed activities or when certain conditions are met. These conditions apply during termination of the worker's employment, at the request of the workers, former workers, or when the worker's employer (the NRC licensee) must report radiation exposure information on the worker to the NRC. Part 19 also establishes requirements for instructions by licensees to individuals participating in licensed activities and options available to these individuals in connection with Commission inspections of licensees to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and regulations, orders and licenses there under regarding radiological working conditions. The worker should be informed of the radiation dose he or she receives because: (a) that information is needed by both a new employer and the individual when the employee changes jobs in the nuclear industry; (b) the individual needs to know the radiation dose received as a result of the accident or incident (if this dose is in excess of the 10 CFR Part 20 limits) so that he or she can seek counseling about future work involving radiation, medical attention, or both, as desired; and (c) since long-term exposure to radiation may be an adverse health factor, the individual needs to know whether the accumulated dose is being controlled within the NRC limits. The worker also needs to know about health risks from occupational exposure to radioactive materials or radiation, precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, worker responsibilities and options to report any licensee conditions which may lead to or cause a violation of Commission regulations, and individual radiation exposure reports which are available to him.

Short Statement: The total burden estimate increased from 320,968.9 hours to 579,660.7 hours and the respondents decreased from 20,300 to 19,500 (3,000 NRC licensees + 16,500 AS licensees). Responses increased from 1,401,163.0 responses to 1,899,235.1. In this submission, the NRC staff identified third-party disclosure requirements in 19.11 for posting notices to workers. The burden for these requirements was not captured in the last submission of this information collection. The omission has been corrected in the current submission. The inclusion of these requirements has increased the overall total by 275,700 hours and 609,500 responses. The current submission does not represent any changes in the requirements for licensees. NRC Licensees The burden estimate for NRC licensees changed from 51,447.3 hours to 135,747.3 hours, an increase of 84,300 hours. This increase is attributed to an increase in thirdparty disclosures, as previously discussed. The estimated number of NRC licensee responses changed from 251,702.8 responses (1 reporting response + 3,000 recordkeepers + 248,701.8 third-party disclosure responses) to 366,202.8 responses (1 reporting response + 3,000 Hours Responses Hours Responses Hours Responses Reporting 3.5 7.0 3.5 7.0 - - Recordkeeping 20,300.0 20,300.0 19,500.0 19,500.0 (800.0) (800.0) Third-party disclosures 287,498.4 1,380,856.0 547,178.3 1,879,728.1 2 59,679.9 498,872.1 One-time burden 13,167.0 - 12,978.9 - (188.1) - TOTAL 320,968.9 1,401,163.0 579,660.7 1,899,235.1 2 58,691.8 498,072.1 Note: The one-time recordkeepers are also annual recordkeepers, and therefore are not counted twice in the responses total. 2017 Renewal Current Request Burden Change Burden Change from 2017 to Current Request 9 recordkeepers + 363,201.8 third-party disclosure responses), an increase of 114,500 responses. This increase is attributed to an increase in third-party disclosures, as previously discussed. Agreement State Licensees The burden estimate for Agreement State licensees changed from 269,521 hours to 443,913.3 hours, an increase of 174,392.3 hours. This increase is attributed to an increase in third-party disclosures, as previously discussed. The estimated number of Agreement State licensee responses changed from 1,149,460.2 responses (6 reporting response + 17,300 recordkeepers + 1,132,154.2 third-party disclosure responses) to 1,533,032.3 responses (6 reporting response + 16,500 recordkeepers + 1,516,526.3 third-party disclosure responses), an increase of 383,572.1 responses. This increase is attributed to an increase in third-party disclosures, as previously discussed.
