Policy Statements, Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption thereof by states through agreement and IMPEP Questionnaire.
States wishing to become an Agreement State are requested to provide certain information to the NRC and need to ensure that the Radiation Control Program under the Agreement remains adequate and compatible with the requirements of Section 274 of the AEA. NRC conducts periodic evaluations through IMPEP to ensure that these programs are compatible with the NRC's, meet the applicable parts of the Act, and are adequate to protect public health and safety.
There has been an overall burden increase of 3,458 hours from 257,173 hours to 260,361 hours annually, because the number of Agreement States has increased from 33 to 34. Although there was a burden increase, the number of responses decreased from 54 to 52 because (1) the number of questionnaires dropped from 9 to 7 because of a decrease in the number of routine reviews based on historical/statistical data which resulted in a reduction in burden from 477 to 371 hours (-106 hours); (2) the re-estimation of IMPEP participation by Agreement was reduced from 11 to 10 reviews, based on the actual number of reviews conducted over the past 3 years, which resulted in a reduction in burden from 396 to 250 hours (-36 hours). The reporting burden for maintaining all activities associated with existing Agreement States has increased from 252,000 hours to 255,600 hours (+3,600 hours) based on the addition of another Agreement State.
