Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hours decreased by 8 hours from 17 to 9 hours as a result of more microfiche documents being retrofitted or scanned into ADAMS. This has made more of the agency’s public documents accessible to all Internet access users. Users can now view and print these documents without making a duplication request. Since the deployment of Web-based ADAMS to the public, there has been a decrease in the number of requests from the public to duplicate documents. Based on the number of requests received during the current clearance period, we estimate a 46% decrease in the number of requests during this 3-year renewal period. The changes in burden cost reflect an increase in NRC’s recoverable fee rate, which increased from $274/hr to $279/hr.
