The NRC Form 136 affects the employees of licensees and contractors who have been granted an NRC access authorization. When access authorization is no longer needed, the completion of the form apprises the respondent of their continuing security responsibilities.
The overall burden increased by 27 hours from 23 to 50 hours because of an increase in the number of requests received during the past clearance cycle. However, the cost for professional effort has increased in accordance with Part 170 from $214/hr to $257/hr.
