In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved. Upon
resubmission, it is suggested the agency make efforts to once again
measure actual burden and exercise conservation in estimating
reductions of burden hours on respondents.

If the NRC determines that a specific
event or issue at a nuclear facility may have an immediate,
significant generic implication, i.e., that the event or issue has
or might have the potential for an immediate occurrence at other
facilities and that the occurrence is a threat to public health,
safety, to the common defense, and/or the environment, the NRC
could issue an emergency non-routine request that requires the
collection and reporting of information to the NRC in usually less
than 30 days. These issuances could include Bulletins and other
forms of generic communication.
A reduction in burden was
identified. The number of annual responses has decreased by 68 from
408 to 340 responses due to a reduction in security responses of
approximately one per year. The reduction in burden is due to the
projected reduction of one response per material licensee per year.
Actual experience has shown that bulletins are rarely issued to
materials licensees and security responses have likewise been
reduced. The reduction of security responses is due to a re-scoping
of the security advisory to reduce information collections and
reporting. This change in scope of security advisories and the
reduction in actual experience results in an aggregate burden
reduction for all categories of licensees. An increase in burden
was identified for non-power reactors and non reactors were was
previously combined and evaluated with reactor licensees. The
burden increase associated with non-power reactors is 3,200 hours.
The burden overall decreased by 6,800 hrs from 92,800 hrs to 86,000
hrs. The cost has increased because the hourly cost rate has
increased from $205 to $238 per hour for reactor licensees and from
$197 to $238 per hour for materials licensees. The assessed cost
for non-power reactor licensees was previously combined and
assessed with reactor licensees.
