Any Agreement State licensee who
engages in the use of radioactive material in non-Agreement States,
areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction, or offshore waters, under
the general license in 10 CFR 150.20, is required to file, with the
NRC Regional Administrator for the Region in which the Agreement
State that issues the license is located, a copy of NRC Form 241
("Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of
Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters"), a copy of its
Agreement State specific license, and the appropriate fee as
prescribed in 10 CFR 170.31 at least 3 days before engaging in such
activity. This mandatory notification permits the NRC to schedule
inspections of the activities to determine whether the activities
are being conducted in accordance with requirements for protection
of the public health and safety.
The NRC reviewed the actual
number of initial responses received during the last 3 years in
order to estimate the number of forms that will be submitted during
the clearance period. The NRC reviewed actual hours charged by NRC
personnel to estimate the number or changes and clarifications made
during the last 3 years that will be submitted during the clearance
period. From 2011 to 2013, an average of 1,020 forms was estimated
to be filed annually. The previous estimate was 1,756 forms (based
on a review of the actual number of forms received from 2008 to
2010), an overall decrease of 736 forms. The number of initial
submissions decreased from 172 to 153 (a decrease of 19 forms, 9.5
hours of burden); the number of changes to the initial forms
submitted increased from 475 to 805 (an increase of 330 forms, 82.5
hours of burden); and the number of clarifications decreased from
1,109 to 62 (a reduction of 1,047 forms, 261.75 hours of burden).
As a result of the reduction in the estimated number of forms filed
annually, the overall burden estimate has decreased from 482 to
293.25 hours (a net reduction of 188.75 hours). The decrease in
initial submissions may be attributed to natural fluctuations in
the needs of Agreement State licensees as a result of variations in
business from year-to-year. The decrease in Clarifications can be
attributed to the Clarification category being phased out since
that check box is no longer physically present on NRC Form 241. In
addition, the hourly rate increased from $259/hour to
$272/hour.
