Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Since the "Nuclear Fuel Data" survey is being collected for the first time in ten years, an increase in respondent burden is expected. Historically, the burden for completing the survey has varied from 1000 to 5000 hours per year, based on the time between data collections and the specific data being collected. The annual burden for the last survey collected, covering a four year period, was approximately 1250 hours per year. The increase for this proposed collection can be attributed to the inclusion of historical cycle by cycle data for the first time since 1995, the collection of detailed data on canisters and their contents and on nonfuel components, the inclusion of new data on Greater Than Class C (GTCC) Low Level Waste (LLW), and a slight increase in the number of respondents to include storage-only facilities and research/test reactors.
