10 CFR Part 19 requires licensees to
advise workers on an annual basis of any radiation exposure in
excess of 1 mSv (100 mrem) they may have received as a result of
NRC-licensed activities or when certain conditions are met. These
conditions apply during termination of the worker's employment, as
the request of the worker, former worker, or when the worker's
employer (the NRC licensee) must report radiation exposure
information on the worker to the NRC. Part 19 also establishes
requirements for instructions by licensees to individuals
participating in licensed activities and options available to these
individuals in connection with Commission inspections of licenseess
to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended, Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act
of 1974, and regulations, orders, and licenses there under
regarding radiological working conditions. Commission regulations,
and individual radiation exposure reports which are available to
him.
The overall burden increased by
6,571 hours from 25,224 burden hours to 31,795 burden hours.
Although the number of new licensees decreased from 255 to 136 and
the number of recordkeepers decreased from 240 to 194, the number
of workers for whom records were maintained increased from 121,000
in 2004 to 130,000 workers in 2008. The majority of the increase in
burden is attributable to under reporting of burden associated with
19.13(b). In 2007, the NRC amended its regulations in 10 CFR
19.13(b) which reduced licensee reporting burden for reporting
annual exposures for all workers to only report for those workers
receiving occupational exposures that exceeded 1 mSv (100 mrem) to
any individual organ or tissue. The associated burden reduction was
10,882 hours. However, this burden is not reportable under
19.13(b), rather it is reported under 10 CFR Part 20, OMB Clearance
Number 3150-0014. Consequently, the burden reduction was
incorrectly credited to OMB Clearance Number 3150-0044. The
recordkeeping burden is not reduced for NRC licensees. In 2008,
181,462 workers were monitored for radiation exposure and the
recordkeeping burden for these workers is reflected in this
assessment. The estimated burden for 10 CFR Part 20 in 2007 was
35,674 hours with a total cost of $9,203,892. This burden was
increased with the addition of 165 respondents and 330 responses
with 432 additional burden hours for the NARM rulemaking in 2007.
Hence, the actual 2007 burden was 36,106 hours with a total cost of
$9,315,348. The net change in burden from 2007 to 2010 is a net
reduction of 4,311 hours and a decreased cost of $1,144,033. The
reporting burden covers the burden for Section 19.12 (a portion of
this section is a one time burden for new licensees); Section
19.13(b), which is covered under 10 CFR Part 20 (OMB Clearance
3150-0014); and Section 19.16(a). The recordkeeping burden now
incorporates the third party reporting requirements for Sections
19.12, 19.13(b), 19.13(c), 19.13(d), and 19.13(e). However, there
was a decrease in professional cost from $258/hr to $257/hr.
