Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden has decreased by 80 hours from 200 to 120 hours, because of a reduction in the number of forms received. During the last renewal period, the NRC received 100 forms and during this reporting period the agency received 60 forms, resulting in a reduction of 40 forms. It is anticipated that this trend will continue due to the agency's reduction in the number of cost-reimbursement type contracts. The cost for professional effort has increased from $258/hr to $259/hr.
