Prior to the effective date of the rule, submit a change worksheet reflecting the anticipated increase in burden. NOTE: Although the rulemaking associated with this package is deregulatory in nature, there will be a short term increase in burden for those facilities who apply for relief. In future submissions, NRC should evaluate the effect of this rule on reducing compliance burden.
