Abstract: Part of the NRC's function is to license and regulate the operation of commercial nuclear power plants to ensure protection of public health and safety and the environment in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended. In order for the NRC to carry out these responsibilities, licensees must report significant events in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73, so that the NRC can evaluate the events to determine what actions, if any, are warranted to ensure protection of public health and safety or the environment. Section 50.73 requires reporting on NRC Forms 366, 366A, and 366B.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated burden has decreased from 35,360 hours to 20,000 hours, a decrease of 15,360 hours. The NRC reviewed the number of LERs submitted over the past two clearance cycles and estimates the annual average has decreased and will remain consistently lower than previous clearance periods for the licensees reporting using NRC Forms 366, 366A and 366B in the future. It is expected that a new lower threshold has been established. The number of estimated LERs has decreased from 542 to 250, a decrease of 292 responses. Additionally, the number of total licensees has decreased from prior clearance cycles; therefore, lower estimates for total number of units and reports per nuclear unit were used. There was an increase in the fee rate from $275/hr to $290/hr used for this OMB clearance cycle.
