Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The overall hourly burden has decreased by 475 hours, from 9,064 hours to 8,589 hours due to a reduction in the number of licensees who are reporting under the requirements of 74.31(b) and 74.51(c). The number of licensees reporting under Section 74.31 has decreased from 7 to 6 because one licensee went into decommissioning activities, and is no longer subject to the requirements of 74.31(b). The NRC re-estimated the previous submission and corrected the current number of licensees who report under Section 74.51 and to reflect the current number of facilities, from 4 to 2. There is no change in the reporting and recordkeeping regulatory requirements. There has also been an increase in the cost burden because the hourly fee rate has increased from $157 to $238/hr.
