Abstract: NRC Form 171 is used by the Public Document Room (PDR) staff members to collect information from the public requesting reproduction of publicly available documents in NRC Headquarters' PDR. The information collected on the form is necessary for the reproduction contractor to process and fulfill reproduction service orders from members of the public. Copies of the form are used by the reproduction contractor to accompany the orders. One copy of the form is kept by the contractor for their records, one copy is sent to the public requesting the documents, and the third copy (with no credit card data) is kept by the PDR staff for 90 calendar days, and then securely discarded.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden has decreased by 3 hours from 9 to 6 hours as a result of more microfiche documents being retrofitted or scanned into ADAMS. Users can now view and print these documents without making a duplication request. Since the deployment of Web-based ADAMS to the public, there has been a decrease in the number of requests from the public to duplicate documents. Based on the number of requests received during the past three years, we estimate a 68.5% decrease in the number of requests during this 3-year renewal period. The changes in burden cost reflect a decrease in NRC's recoverable fee rate, which decreased from $279/hr. to $263/hr.
