Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden estimate for NRC Form 629, “Authorization for Payment by Credit Card” and NUREG/BR-0254, “Payment Methods,” has increased by 68 hours from 45 to 113 hours. The significant increase in hours is due to the estimated burden to read the instructions and complete the form, an increase from 5 to 10 minutes. This increase is due to improved burden estimation guidance. The estimated number of responses increased by 132, from 545 to 677 responses. The estimated number of forms submitted is based on a forecast using the actual number of forms received by the NRC from FY2011 through FY2016. NRC has seen an increase in the number of payments by credit card since the last renewal due to an increase in the number of respondents who want to pay their invoices by credit card. The overall estimated annual cost has increased by $17,584.52 from $12,348.80 (45.4 hours x $272) to $29,933.32 ($29,900 (112.83 hours x $265) + $33.32 (68 forms x $0.49 postage)). The significant increase is due to the increase in the estimated time to read the instructions and complete the form, as well as the increase in the estimated number of forms.
