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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden has increased by 23,406 hours from 36,890 hours to 60,296 hours (7,375 total NRC licensees hrs + 52,921 total AS licensees hrs) because of an increase in the number of licensees by 108 from 170 to 278. The number of NRC licensees has decreased by 3 from 37 to 34, resulting in a burden decrease of 662 hours from 8,037 hours to 7,375 hours (108 reporting hrs + 7,267 recordkeeping hrs). The number of Agreement State (AS) licensees has increased by 111 from 133 to 244, resulting in a burden increase of 24,068 hours from 28,853 to 52,921 hours (767 reporting hrs + 52,154 recordkeeping hrs). A significant reason for the change in burden is that three States; Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey, all of whom have a large number of material licensees, became Agreement States during the last clearance cycle. This change affected the overall ratio used to calculate the number of Agreement State to NRC Part 39 licensees. The number of well loggings licensees licensed by the Agreement States is assumed to follow the same ratio as the total number of NRC licensees to Agreement States licensees. However, there was a slight decrease in professional cost from $258/hr to $257/hr.
