The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 71 establish requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed material, and prescribe procedures, standards, and requirements for approval by NRC of packaging and shipping procedures for fissile material and for quantities of licensed material in excess of Type A quantities. The NRC collects information pertinent to 10 CFR part 71 for three reasons: to issue a package approval; to ensure that any incidents or package degradation or defect are appropriately captured, evaluated and if necessary, corrected to minimize future potential occurrences; and to ensure that all activities are completed using an NRC-approval quality assurance program.
There was a 30 hour increase in the overall burden, from 30,589 hours to 30,619 hours. The NRC reviewed data from the past 3 years and adjusted estimates for Part 71, based on the current number of licensees and staff knowledge of the industry. Due to variation in casework from year to year, 3 yearsâ worth of data was reviewed to assist in estimating this renewal periodâs annual reporting burden. A summary of the changes is below. Please see the supplemental burden change spreadsheet for details on burden changes for each reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party disclosure requirement under 10 CFR Part 71.
