Commenters made
several suggestions for enhancing the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected. NRC has, in this supporting
statement, committed itself to address these comments. In
particular, a commenter proposed that the instructions be revised,
that Form 741 be revised to be licensee specific, and that
reporting quantities be standardized. As part of the next renewal
of this ICR, NRC should address these issues.
