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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated overall burden increased by 452 hours from 36,186 hours to 36,638 hours. This is primarily due to the fact that the new estimate incorporates an updated estimate of the total number of general licenses in NRC jurisdiction and in Agreement States, which led to a slight increase in the estimated number of burden hours attributable to recordkeeping. Also, burden in this supporting statement more accurately accounts for burden due to third-party disclosures. In addition, the fee rate decreased from $279 to $263 per hour.
