10 CFR part 140 specifies the information to be submitted by licensees that enables the NRC to assess (a) financial protection required by licensees and for the indemnification and limitation of liability of certain licensees and other persons pursuant to Section 170 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and (b) the liability insurance required of plutonium processing and fuel fabrication plants, as well as uranium enrichment facility licensees pursuant to Section 193 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
The overall burden for this collection has decreased from 803 hours and 102
responses in the previous renewal to 796 hours and 102 responses in this cycle.
The decrease in the number of hours is reflective of the changes in the status of the
licensees (a reduction in responders under Section 140.21, with an increase in
Section 140.13 responders with an accompanying reduced burden per response.)
A decrease in cost is also due to the decrease in fee rate, from $279/hour to
$263/hour.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
