The NRCâs regulations at 10 CFR part 51 specifies information to be provided by applicants and licensees so that the NRC can make determinations necessary to adhere to the policies, regulations, and public laws of the United States, which are interpreted and administered in accordance with the provisions set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.
The overall annual burden decreased by 50,710 hours annually from 98,814 hours to 48,104 hours. This decrease occurred due to:
⢠License amendments are expected to increase by 5 respondents; however, the burden has been re-evaluated to be 20 hours per response resulting in a decrease of 700 hours annually. This re-evaluation is based on the same assumptions as previous burden estimates and appears to be the result of more efficient processes as subsequent amendments are prepared and reviewed.
⢠Combined licenses will decrease by 2.33 respondents and 24,000 hours annually.
⢠Early Site Permits will decrease by 0.67 respondents and 7,524 hours annually.
⢠Design Certifications are expected to decrease by 1 respondent and 60 hours annually.
⢠Amended Design Certifications are expected to decrease by 5 respondents and 300 hours annually.
⢠License Renewals are expected to decrease by 2 respondents and 24,600 hours annually.
⢠Research and Test Reactors are expected to decrease by 4.67 respondents and 280 hours annually.

During this clearance period, the agency expects increases in a few areas as follows:
⢠Requests for exemptions will increase by 8 respondents and 40 hours annually.
⢠Requests to withhold proprietary information from disclosure will increase by 1 respondent and 10 hours annually.
⢠Construction permit stage environmental reports will increase by 0.33 respondents and 3,536 hours annually.
⢠Materials license environmental reviews will increase by 0.67 respondents and 1,118 hours annually.
