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.
Based on experience and data
collected on submissions on an annual basis for the last 2 years,
the NRC expects the same pace of submissions to continue and
therefore, to receive approximately the same number of submissions
per year for the next clearance period. Since the last clearance
period, the NRC has gained access to improved data collections
methods. From 2015 to 2016, an average of 1,720 forms was estimated
to be filed annually. The previous estimate was 1,020 forms (based
on a review of the estimated actual number of forms received from
2011 to 2013), an overall increase of 700 forms. The number of
initial submissions increased from 153 to 200 (an increase of 47
forms, 23.5 hours of burden); the number of changes to the initial
forms submitted increased from 805 to 1,520 (an increase of 715
forms, 179 hours of burden); and the number of clarifications
decreased from 62 to 0 (a reduction of 62 forms, 15.5 hours of
burden). As a result of the reduction in the estimated number of
forms filed annually, the overall burden estimate has increased
from 293.25 to 480 hours (a net increase of 186.75 hours). The
increase in initial submissions and submissions changing initial
submissions may be attributed to improved data collections methods
at the NRC. 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 decreased from $272/hour to $265/hour.
