Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 71 establish requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed material, and prescribe procedures, standards, and requirements for approval by NRC of packaging and shipping procedures for fissile material and for quantities of licensed material in excess of Type A quantities. The NRC collects information pertinent to 10 CFR part 71 for three reasons: to issue a package approval; to ensure that any incidents or package degradation or defect are appropriately captured, evaluated and if necessary, corrected to minimize future potential occurrences; and to ensure that all activities are completed using an NRC-approval quality assurance program.

Short Statement: There was a 120 hour increase in the overall burden, from 30,619 hours to 30,739 hours. The NRC reviewed data from the past 3 years and adjusted estimates for Part 71, based on the current number of licensees and staff knowledge of the industry. Due to variation in casework from year to year, 3 years’ worth of data was reviewed to assist in estimating this renewal period’s annual reporting burden. . The estimated number of respondents and associated burden under 71.101(c), “Quality Assurance Requirements” has been adjusted to reflect the typical number of responses annually. Previously staff estimated one response annually under 71.101(c) “Approval of Program.” Upon review, staff revised this estimate to 2 reports annually. With an increase of one response at 120 hours per response, this resulted in an increase of 120 hours burden annually. In addition, the changes in burden cost reflect change in the estimated burden cost from $288 per hour to $154 per hour.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $3,014,550
