Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The industry burden decreased by 1987 hours from 172,915 hours to 170,928 hours. These changes are based on NRC and industry staff experiences and are specifically addressed below. Overall, the burden decreased because the number of respondents licensed under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 decreased by 4 from 96 to 92 (61 power sites + 31 non-power sites) due to the decommissioning of four power sites and therefore are no longer required to report under Part 55. An increase in NRC licensee reporting burden compared to the prior reporting period is due to the NRC receiving an increased number of exemptions and the two NRC online forms, requesting exemptions from requirements for Part 55 Exemption Request and Part 55 Research and Test Reactor Exemption Request related to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). In addition, the hourly rate used to calculate licensee costs has increased from $275/hr to $288/hr.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $8,302,176
