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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Since the last submittal, the number of respondents that submitted a Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan has decreased from 6 to 5. Therefore, in the reporting requirements, the number of responses changed from 21 to 20. Also, the number of recordkeepers has changed from 110 to 150 to update the number to include all current licensees required to retain records, including operating reactors, research and test reactors, and small licensees. As a result of this adjustment, the number of responses has increased from 131 to 170 (150 recordkeepers plus 20 responses). There has been an increase in the cost burden because the hourly fee rate has increased from $259/hour to $272/hour. Therefore, the reporting and recordkeeping burdens were updated to reflect the new hourly fee rate.
