Agreement States will be asked to
provide information about uranium recovery and complex sites
undergoing decommissioning regulated by the Agreement States on an
annual basis. The information request will allow the NRC to
compile, in a centralized location, more complete information on
the status of decommissioning and decontamination in the United
States in order to provide a national perspective on
decommissioning. The information will be made available to the
public by the NRC in order to ensure openness and promote
communication to enhance public knowledge of the national
decommissioning program. This does not apply to information, such
as trade secrets and commercial or financial information provided
by the Agreement States, that is considered privileged or
confidential. Information such as financial assurance and the
status of decommissioning funding would need to be identified by
the Agreement State as privileged or confidential, whereupon the
NRC would withhold such information from public access and treat it
as sensitive or non-sensitive, per the considerations in 10 CFR
Parts 2.390 and 9.17. This does not apply to financial assurance or
decommissioning funding information that is already available to
the public. Although specific details of the funding mechanisms are
treated as confidential, beneficial lessons learned regarding the
improvement of decommissioning-related funding will be shared with
the Agreement States.
NRC decreased the estimated
burden per response. The burden estimates for providing voluntary
responses to NRC's information requests have been updated to more
accurately reflect the time required to respond. The estimates were
reduced due to the fact that the respondents are primarily updating
existing site information instead of generating new site summaries.
In addition, many respondents are also using a web-based interface
to provide updated site information. The previous burden estimate
for Agreement States with sites of interest was 13 hours per
response, which has been reduced to 10 hours per response in the
current submission. The previous burden estimate for Agreement
States with no sites of interest was 4 hours per response, which
has been reduced to 3 hours per response in the current submission.
There has been an increase in the number of sites. Agreement States
must complete one response annually for each site of interest. The
number of sites of interest has increased from 45 sites to 59
sites. In addition, the number of Agreement States with no sites of
interest has increased from 23 to 24 Agreement States responding.
In addition, the fee rate increased from $258 to $259 per
hour.
