OMB Burden Hour Reduction •
CAIRS: The decrease in burden hours is due primarily to a decrease
in the number of responses as a result of fewer injuries and
illness occurring during this period. (147 hours decrease) • ORPS:
Decrease in burden from FY 2016 data occurred due to the Occurrence
Reporting Directive (DOE O 232.2A) revision in 2017. The revision
resulted in streamlining of reporting criteria and reduction of
time to create and submit occurrence reporting. Total average time
to complete an occurrence report is estimated to be an average of 5
hours. (4730 hours decrease) • NTS: The decrease in burden hours is
primarily due to a decline in the number of noncompliance reports
being submitted each year. (172 hour decrease) • REMS: Due to the
annual variation of activities, allocated budgets, and an effort to
ensure safe working conditions, the number of monitored individuals
can change from year to year. There was an increase in
approximately 3,000 monitored individuals from the 2016 response.
(694 hours increase) • Fire Protection: No Changes • Safety Basis:
Due to the nature of work at DOE sites, during the past 3 years
number of users and facilities have increased. (102 hour increase).
• Lessons Learned System: Over the past couple of years, there has
been a 10-15% decrease in lessons learned submittals. This is a
result of the Lessons Learned System being antiquated and not the
preferred method to submit and search lessons learned. AU-23 is
working with RL on the possibility of transitioning to RL’s
OPEXShare system which is the preferred system by Lessons Learned
Coordinators. (200 hours decrease)
