Abstract: The proposed rule would require that new NRC Form 754 be completed for background checks. Initially, this will result in a burden of 1,511 hours because of the requirement that licensees submit the information for current security staff. Thereafter, the burden is estimated to only require 261 hours annually for submission of the form to NRC for new employees.

Short Statement: The factors that account for the increased estimate are the following: The proposed rule (1) creates more detailed requirements for the content of licensees’ security plans; (2) includes more detailed requirements for correcting security deficiencies through the site’s corrective action program; (3) adds requirements for safety-security interface procedures; (4) accounts for recordkeeping associated with alarm annunciations and access control devices; and, (5) creates additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with background investigations for access authorization and access to enhanced weapons. These new provisions include reporting and recordkeeping burdens that were not part of previous estimates. The proposed rule would require that new NRC Form 754 be completed for background checks. Initially, this will result in a burden of 1,511 hours because of the requirement that licensees submit the information for current security staff. Thereafter, the burden is estimated to only require 261 hours annually for submission of the form to NRC for new employees.
