Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The overall burden decreased by 196 hours, from 484 to 288, with a corresponding reduction in the number of respondents from 170 to 120 because of a reduction in the number of forms received. In addition, the burden was reduced because of the elimination of the requirement to file NRC Form 7 for the export of incidental waste. This requirement was eliminated on August 27, 2010, because the NRC removed the reporting requirement for exports of incidental radioactive material. There was a change in the overall cost because the hourly rate increased from $238 to $273. During this renewal period, NRC made clarifying changes to NRC Form 7. A third paragraph was inserted on page 1 of the NRC Form 7 instructions, as follows: An application for a specific license to export or import or a request for an exemption from a licensing requirement must be accompanied by the appropriate fee in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. The fee schedules are provided in §§ 170.21 and 170.31. The reference "IMEX" should be included on your form of payment. A license application will not be processed unless the specified fee is received. In addition, the instructions for BLOCK 10 on page 2 of the instructions were revised by deleting text on the 11th line from the top left as follows: "…for direct disposal at a Part 61 or equivalent Agreement State licensed facility…" The line was replaced with the following: "…for the purposes of disposal in a land disposal facility as defined in 10 CFR Part 61, a disposal area as defined in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 40, or an equivalent facility;…"
