Part of the NRC's function is to
license and regulate the operation of commercial nuclear power
plants to ensure protection of public health and safety and the
environment in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as
amended. In order for the NRC to carry out these responsibilities,
licensees must report significant events in accordance with 10 CFR
50.73, so that the NRC can evaluate the events to determine what
actions, if any, are warranted to ensure protection of public
health and safety or the environment. Section 50.73 requires
reporting on NRC Forms 366, 366A, and 366B.
The estimated burden has
decreased from 35,360 hours to 20,000 hours, a decrease of 15,360
hours. The NRC reviewed the number of LERs submitted over the past
two clearance cycles and estimates the annual average has decreased
and will remain consistently lower than previous clearance periods
for the licensees reporting using NRC Forms 366, 366A and 366B in
the future. It is expected that a new lower threshold has been
established. The number of estimated LERs has decreased from 542 to
250, a decrease of 292 responses. Additionally, the number of total
licensees has decreased from prior clearance cycles; therefore,
lower estimates for total number of units and reports per nuclear
unit were used. There was an increase in the fee rate from $275/hr
to $290/hr used for this OMB clearance cycle.
