In order for the United States to fulfill its responsibilities as a participant in the U.S./International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards Agreement, the NRC must collect information from licensees about their installations and provide it to the IAEA. Licensees of facilities that appear on the U.S. eligible list and have been notified in writing by the NRC are required to complete and submit a Design Information Questionnaire, IAEA Form N-71 (and the appropriate associated IAEA Form) or Form N-91, to provide information concerning their installation for use of the IAEA.
The overall burden for completing IAEA Form N-71 and the associated forms has decreased slightly from 360 burden hours to 300 burden hours. Previously there were three submissions and zero updates and currently there are two submissions and two updates over 3 years. This has resulted from the construction and operation of new facilities which are eligible for selection by the IAEA for application of international safeguards. As discussed above, after selection by IAEA, licensees are required to complete IAEA Form N-71 and associated forms. In addition, there has been an increase in the overall cost as a result of an increase in the fee rate from $258/hr to $259/hr.
