The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) regulations in 10 CFR Part 73 prescribe requirements to
establish and maintain a physical protection system and security
organization with capabilities for protection of (1) Special
Nuclear Material (SNM) at fixed sites, (2) SNM in transit, and (3)
plants in which SNM is used. The objective is to ensure that
activities involving special nuclear material are consistent with
interests of common defense and security and that these activities
do not constitute an unreasonable risk to public health and safety.
The information in the reports and records submitted by licensees
is used by the NRC staff to ensure that the health ans safety of
the public and the environment are protected, and licensee
possession and use of special nuclear material is in compliance
with license and regulatory requirements.
The estimated burden has
decreased from 557,145 hours to 543,443 hours, for a total decrease
of 13,702 hours. Reasons for the change are as follows: Removal of
burden for completed requirements: A number of one time
requirements were contained in the Power Reactor Security
Requirements, Final Rule (approved by OMB April 1, 2009). An
estimated 20,633 hours of burden were reduced to the completion of
one-time requirements associated with this rule. Change in the
number of licensees: The previous renewal listed 64 power reactor
sites. The correct total number of power reactor sites and expected
decommissioning sites is 65. In addition, there is a projected
increase of one Category 1 licensee. As a result, the burden
increased 6,768 hours. Also, there is a change in cost because the
hourly rate increased from $259/hour to $272/hour.
