Abstract: The States wishing to become an Agreement State are requested to provide certain information to the NRC and need to ensure that the Radiation Control Program under the Agreement remains adequate and compatible with the requirements of Section 274 of the AEA. NRC conducts periodic evaluations through IMPEP to ensure that these programs are compatible with the NRC's, meet the applicable parts of the Act, and are adequate to protect public health and safety.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been an overall burden increase of 26,062 hours from 260,631 hours to 286,693 hours annually, because the number of Agreement States has increased from 34 to 37: -The annual burden for IMPEP questionnaire respondents has increased by 106 hours due to the increase in number of IMPEP reviews performed annually. Two additional reviews will be performed annually at 53 hours each. -The annual burden for IMPEP participation by Agreement States was re-estimated because of an increase from 10 to 11 reviews, resulting in an increase in burden from 360 to 396 hours (+36 hours). -The burden for reporting and recordkeeping for maintaining all activities associated with existing Agreement States has increased from 255,600 hours to 281,520 hours (+25,920 hours) based on the addition of three Agreement States (Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey). The estimated number of burden hours per response increased from 7,518 to 7,609. The burden hours per response is based on the average FTE expended per State to maintain its program. Based on the fact that Pennsylvania and New Jersey are fairly large programs, requiring an above average number of FTE, the average per state increased slightly.
