Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden has increased from 8,909 hours to 9,439 hours, an increase of 530 hours. The NRC staff reviewed and updated the total number of recordkeepers under 10 CFR Part 74 to ensure the total includes reactor licensees, independent spent fuel storage installations, and research and test reactors subject to 10 CFR Part 74. As a result of this review, the count of recordkeepers increased from 157 to 163. As a result of this adjustment, the number of responses has changed from 174 (157 recordkeepers plus 17 responses) to 183 (163 recordkeepers plus 20 responses). In the last renewal, there were no licensed Category II facilities. In the current submission, one Category II facility has been included as a respondent. One licensed Category II facility is not constructed or operating and is not yet included as a respondent. One additional application is under review; however, no reporting or recordkeeping burdens will be incurred until after the 3-year clearance period. There has been an increase in the cost because the hourly fee rate has increased from $278/hour to $290/hour.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $986,000
