Abstract: NRC Form 4 is used to record the summary of an individual's cum- ulative occupational radiation dose up to and including the current year to ensure that the dose does not exceed regulatory limits. The proposed rule provisions would reduce the burden for NRC Form 4 by 8,844 hours from 12,176 hours to 3,332 hours by eliminating the need to provide cumulative occupational dose history reports except for planned special exposures.
