Abstract: 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 (the Act) 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The NRC reviewed the number of LERs submitted over the past three years. The annual average was 350 LERs per year. In the past clearance cycle, the data showed an average of 400 LERs per year over the three-year period. The NRC has adjusted our estimate in response to the current data. As a result the number of LERs decreased from 400 to 350 annually, a change of 4,000 hours (from 32,000 hours to 28,000 hours). Additionally, the reduction in burden also results in a reduction of fees from the previous cycle of $8,224,000 to $7,672,000 a reduction of $552,000. There was also an increase in the fee rate from $257/hr to $274/hr for this clearance cycle.
