Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been an increase in burden from 100 hours and 100 responses to 500 hours and 500 responses, an increase of 400 hours and 400 responses. This change is attributed to a thorough review of travel records during the current clearance cycle to calculate the average number of Agreement State travelers during a typical year. This records review indicated that an average of 500 travelers annually submit the form. In addition, the NRC staff reviewed the form and determined that many of the fields on the form were no longer necessary for the processing of Agreement State travel reimbursements. The form was significantly shortened during the preparation of this clearance request. Specifically, the following fields were removed from the form: • Full SSN • Authorization number • Identification number (non-SSN • Reclaim voucher (yes/no) • Voucher status (partial/final) • Type of travel • Method of payment • Airline accommodations • Leave taken • Comparative travel • Transportation/ticket number/carrier/amount • Check number • Travel advance • Departure times Sections for examiners adjustments, cashier’s use, and accounting classification were also removed. Fields were added to indicate whether the traveler’s address had changed since the last travel (yes/no) and whether the traveler had direct deposit (yes/no). Finally, there has been an increase in burden from $265/hr to $279/hr.
