Pursuant to the PRA and 5 CFR 1320, this collection of information is approved through December 1989 for the previously approved burden of 35,278 hours. OMB is not approving the requested burden of 60,030 hours because NCR has not adequately explained the reason for the 24,786 burden hour increase. When this ICR is resubmitted for review, NRC should explain this increase in the context of assurances previously given to OMB that the public burden of this program would not increase.
