NRC Form 5 is used to record and report the results of individual monitoring for occupational radiation exposure during a monitoring (one calendar year) period to ensure regulatory compliance with annual radiation dose limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1201.
The estimated burden has increased by 62,296 hours from the previous burden of 68,556 hours to 130,852 hours (6,000 reporting plus 124,852 recordkeeping). This burden change is due to an increase in the number of monitored individuals at licensee facilities pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1501. The increase in the number of monitored individuals increases the number of records received by the NRC. In addition to the increase in the number of monitored individuals, there was an increase in the total number of materials licensees that reported occupational dose data to the NRC. The materials licensee data submitted was by NRC materials licensees and Agreement State materials licensees. In the previous clearance, NRC received 173,419 records. As of June 2013, NRC received 215,262 records (204,524 electronic records + 10,738 paper records). In addition, the professional cost per hour has increased from $257/hr to $272/hr.
The number of responses has increased from 4,042 to 4,346. This change is due to the increase in the number of reporting responses and an increase in the number of recordkeepers. In the previous clearance period, there were 194 reporting responses and 3,848 recordkeepers. In this clearance, there are 200 reporting responses and 4,146 recordkeepers. Each recordkeeper has been counted as a single response, regardless of the number of records kept. Therefore, the number of responses is equal to the number of reporting responses plus the number of recordkeepers.
Most of the increase in burden can be attributed to the change in the estimated recordkeeping burden due to the additional of the EDEX field. The EDEX field increased recordkeeping burden from .33 hrs per record to .58 hrs per record, an increase of .25 hrs per record. With 215,262 records annually, this change accounts for 53,815.5 hours (215,262 records x an increase of .25 hrs per record).
