Pursuant to the
PRA and 5 CFR 1320, this collection of information is approved
through December 1989 for the previously approved burden of 35,278
hours. OMB is not approving the requested burden of 60,030 hours
because NCR has not adequately explained the reason for the 24,786
burden hour increase. When this ICR is resubmitted for review, NRC
should explain this increase in the context of assurances
previously given to OMB that the public burden of this program
would not increase.
