Abstract:
States and federally recognized Indian Tribes are involved and interested in monitoring the safety status of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. This involvement is, in part, in response to the States' and Tribes' public health and safety responsibilities and, in part, in response to their citizens' desire to become more knowledgeable about the safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. States and Tribes have identified NRC inspections as one possible source of knowledge for their personnel regarding NRC licensee activities, and the NRC, through the policy statement, “Cooperation with States at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production or Utilization Facilities” (57 FR 6462; February 25, 1992), has been amenable to accommodating States' and Tribes' needs in this regard. The NRC uses the information collected under this information collection requirement to allow States and federally recognized Indian Tribes to participate in or observe inspections at NRC-licensed facilities. The types of information collected include written requests identifying specific inspections States and Tribes wish to observe; identification-related information required for site access to NRC-licensed facilities; training and qualifications of State and Tribal personnel participating in inspections; information required to define inspection roles for States and Tribes; and information to coordinate NRC and State and Tribal inspections.

Short Statement:
Based on changes in the nuclear industry, the NRC expects that the number of expected respondents observing NRC inspections at nuclear power plants will decrease by one from the previous submission. This reduces the number of responses by 2 with a corresponding decrease in burden of 18 hours. The estimated burden per response for States observing or participating in inspections (9 hours for observing inspections and 5 hours for participating in inspections) has not changed. The estimated additional costs went from $27,024 to $0 due to the implementation of the policy of not charging the States for training. In addition, the fee rate has increased from $279 to $288/hr.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$156,960
