In order for the U.S. to fulfill its
responsibilities as a participant in the U.S./IAEA Safeguards
Agreement, the NRC must collect information from licensees about
their installations and provide it to the IAEA. Licensees of
facilities that appear on the U.S. eligible list and have been
notified in writing by the NRC are required to complete and submit
a Design Information Questionnaire, IAEA Form N-71 (and the
appropriate associated IAEA Form) or Form N 91, to provide
information concerning their installation for use by the IAEA. This
submission revises the collection to reflect the addition by the
IAEA of two new forms within the Design Information Questionnaire
series for Geological Repositories (IAEA Form N-76) and Spent Fuel
Encapsulation Plants (IAEA Form N-77). There are no anticipated
respondents to these new forms during the clearance
period.
The burden has increased by 60
hours, from 300 hours to 360 hours. Burden hours will continue to
be attributed to selection/de-selection for IAEA safeguards of
eligible facilities from the list provided to the IAEA under the
US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement. However, experience of having 1 new
isotopic separation facility submit a completed Form N-71 and N-75
demonstrated the need to return the burden to 360 hours (45
entities x 8 hrs = 360 hours). The addition by the IAEA of two new
forms within the Design Information Questionnaire series for
Geological Repositories (IAEA Form N-76) and Spent Fuel
Encapsulation Plants (IAEA Form N-77) has not affected this burden.
In addition, there has been an increase in the overall cost as a
result of an increase in the fee rate from $259/hr to $272/hr.
