Any Agreement State licensee who engages in the use of radioactive material in non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction, or offshore waters, under the general license in 10 CFR 150.20, is required to file, with the NRC Regional Administrator for the Region in which the Agreement State that issues the license is located, a copy of NRC Form 241 ("Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, Areas of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, or Offshore Waters"), a copy of its Agreement State specific license, and the appropriate fee as prescribed in 10 CFR 170.31 at least 3 days before engaging in such activity. This mandatory notification permits the NRC to schedule inspections of the activities to determine whether the activities are being conducted in accordance with requirements for protection of the public health and safety.
The NRC reviewed the actual number of initial responses received during the last 3 years in order to estimate the number of forms that will be submitted during the clearance period. The NRC reviewed actual hours charged by NRC personnel to estimate the number or changes and clarifications made during the last 3 years that will be submitted during the clearance period. From 2011 to 2013, an average of 1,020 forms was estimated to be filed annually. The previous estimate was 1,756 forms (based on a review of the actual number of forms received from 2008 to 2010), an overall decrease of 736 forms. The number of initial submissions decreased from 172 to 153 (a decrease of 19 forms, 9.5 hours of burden); the number of changes to the initial forms submitted increased from 475 to 805 (an increase of 330 forms, 82.5 hours of burden); and the number of clarifications decreased from 1,109 to 62 (a reduction of 1,047 forms, 261.75 hours of burden).
As a result of the reduction in the estimated number of forms filed annually, the overall burden estimate has decreased from 482 to 293.25 hours (a net reduction of 188.75 hours).
The decrease in initial submissions may be attributed to natural fluctuations in the needs of Agreement State licensees as a result of variations in business from year-to-year. The decrease in Clarifications can be attributed to the Clarification category being phased out since that check box is no longer physically present on NRC Form 241.
In addition, the hourly rate increased from $259/hour to $272/hour.
