NRC-regulated facilities and other
organizations are required to provide information and maintain
records to ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided
to NRC-classified information and material.
The overall burden increased by
133 hours from 954 to 1,087 hours. The reporting burden increased
by 133 hours from 805 to 938 hours and the recordkeeping burden
remained at 149 hours. This estimate is based on NRC staff
experience and a re-estimation of annual reporting hours. As
licensees increasingly rely on networks rather than hard copy
documentation, the NRC has been receiving more changes to their
security practices and procedures and network security plans
submitted for approval. This includes: -Increase of 8 responses and
32 hours for licensees making changes to their Standard Practice
Procedures Plan under 95.19(a)&(b). -Increase of 19 responses
and 95 hours for licensees to submit Classified Network Security
Plans under 95.39(d) In addition, the NRC made a minor adjustment
to the estimate for licensees making classification changes under
95.45(a)&(d). This increased from 3 responses (6 hours) to 6
responses (12 hours).
