Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 30 establishes requirements that are
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application,
reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit
the NRC to make a determination whether the possession, use, and
transfer of byproduct material is in conformance with the
Commission's regulations for protection of the public health and
safety.
The overall burden has
decreased by 28,706 hours from 302,697 hours to 273,991 hours. This
includes a decrease of 7,524 hours of NRC licensee overall burden
(from 40,327 hours to 32,803 hours) and a decrease of 21,182 hours
of Agreement State licensee overall burden (from 262,370 hours to
241,188 hours). Based on the NRC’s estimates, the total number of
licensees has decreased by approximately 1,503 from 22,091 to
20,588. There was a reduction in the number of NRC licensees, which
decreased from 2,959 to approximately 2,600. The decrease in NRC
license numbers may be attributed to natural fluctuations in the
needs of businesses and other entities in NRC jurisdiction. The
ratio used to estimate Agreement State respondents changed from 6.5
to 6.9 and the estimated number of Agreement State licensees
decreased from 19,132 to 17,988. The ratio changed because the
difference in the number of NRC licensees versus Agreement States
licensees has increased. The overall decrease in the number of
licensees is tied to a corresponding decrease in the number of
expected responses for various sections, resulting in an overall
decrease in the burden hour estimate. Additionally, recently, many
security-related orders were rescinded for NRC licensees due to the
implementation of 10 CFR Part 37 “Physical Protection of Category 1
and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material” resulting in a
decrease in burden accounted for under 10 CFR 30.34(e) for NRC
licensees. The security-related orders currently remain in place
for Agreement State Licensees. The burden attributed to third-party
disclosures increased by 14,758 hours (from 0 hours to 14,758
hours). This change is due to more accurately accounting for
third-party disclosure burden (formerly some of this burden had
been accounted for under recordkeeping burden). There was a change
in the overall cost because the hourly rate increased from $273 to
$279.
