l OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR 95 Security Facility Approval and Safeguarding of National Security Information and Restricted Data 3150-0047 Revision to Extension Request Description of information Collection The reporting requirements of 10 CFR Part 95 affect approximately 10 licensees, certificate holders and other organizations. The licensees, certificate holders, or other organizations make reportable information available st their place of business or send the reports to NRC at its Headquarters or Regional Offices. Reports or applications are only required as occasioned by the occurrence of specific events such as the request for a security facility approval, a modification to an existing security plan, an exemption request, a cancellation or termination of security facility approval, or a report of possible loss or compromise of classified information. Other requirements for recordkeeping are necessary for checking the licensees' and other organizations' procedures for maintaining acceptable security education, facility and classification / declassification programs. The limited amount of personal information submitted in connection with security facility approval requests, classification /doclassification actions and other areas within these requirements is handled and protected in accordance with NRC directives and the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. Other information submitted to NRC in response to the application, recordkeeping and reporting requirements is available for public inspection in accordance with 10 CFR Part 9.

A. JUSTlFICATION

1. Need for and Practical Utility of the Collection of Information.

10 CFR Part 95 contains numerous reporting, recordkeeping and application requirements, including requirements foi cubmittal of information, plans and procedures for the protection of classified information, ADP and telecommunications security plans, security recordkeeping requirements for compliance purposes and security reporting and notification procedures for compliance and response purposes. In all cases, the requirements are necessary to help ensure i that an adequate level of protection is provided for information determined j

to be classified. Essentially, all of the reporting, recordkeeping and l

application requirements are necessary for one of the reasons listed below-l l

I 1

I' l a. To obtain essential descriptive data concerning the content and planned operation of the licensee's, certificate holders, or other organization's information security program which is necessary for NRC to determine the adequacy of planned methods and procedures for safeguarding classified information and material that is used, stored, transmitted, reproduced, or destroyed.

b. To obtain essential data describing the licensee's, certificate holders, or other organization's planned program for ensuring employee indoctrination and continued awarenass of their security 2

responsibilities so as to preclude unauthorized disclosure of classified information or material and to ensure compliance with E.O.12958,

c. To obtain essential data to permit NRC review and inspection of the licensee's, certificate holders, or other organization's classification procedures and compliance with regulatory requirements for classification and procedures concerning release of classified information to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) representatives.
d. Tc obtain essential data to permit NRC review and appraisal of the licensee's, certificate holders or other organization's degree of foreign ownership, control or influence to prevent unauthorized international transfer or disclosure of classified information or material and to ensure that classified activities are not adversely affected.

The currently effective information collection requirements of 10 CFR Part 95 are identified and explained below-95.11 Soecific Exemptions. A licenseo may request an exemption from the requirements of Part 95 and shall keep the documentation related to this request for three years beyond the period covered by the exemption.

The information and justification required by this section are used to determine whether an exemption can be granted. The submittal is necessary from any licensee, certificate holder, or other organization that possesses classified information in connection with NRC regulated activities, but which believes it ought to be exempted from the requirements of Part 95. The reporting and recordkeeping requirement permits necessary review of exemption material and approval documentation during annual NRC surveys.

2

95,15(a)&(b) and 95.49 Security Facility Approval Reauest. A licensee shall request NRC facility approval to store or handle clacrified information in connection with NRC related activities.

If there is no existing facility clearance, the request must include a security Standard Practice Procedures Plan containing an ADP security proposal that outlines the facility's proposed security procedures and controls for the protection of classified information, a floor plan of the area in which the matter is to be used, processed, stored, reproduced, transmitted, transported or handled; and foreign ownership, control or influence information.

The request for approval and accompanying security plan provide pertinent data including information concerning foreign ownership, control or influence which enables the NRC Division of Facilities and Security to assess the licensee's, certificate holder's, or other organization's eligibility for such approval. Facilities are inspected to ensure their compliance with the procedures outlined in this security plan and the requirements contained within the Part.

95.18(a)&(b) Kev Personnel. This section requires the submission of personnel security forms for key management personnel of the facility, whether or not they will have routine access to classified information. Personnel security form:, are necessary due to the influence management wc id have over those employees who do have such access. Further, key personnel are required to submit forms because the board of directors could formally exclude key personnel from access to classified information. The exclusion is made a matter of record and I

reported to the CSA. These requirements assure that personnel in a position to have substantial influence over individuals within the facility who have access to classified information are either cleared or procedurally barred from exerting that influence to the detriment of the national security.

95.19(a) & (b) Chanaes to Security Practices and Procedures. This section requires the reporting of proposed major changes to a security plan to the CSA with copies to NRC and the Regional Administrator, prior to implementation and requires reporting of minor changes promptly after the changes have been adopted by the licensee, certificate holder, or other organization.

95.21 Cancellation of Facility Acoroval Reauest. When a request for security facility approval is to be withdrawn or canceled, the NRC Division of Facilities and Secucity will be notified by the requestor immediately by telephone so that processing for this approval may be terminated. The requestor shall confirm the l telephone notification promptly in writing.

The information required by this section is necessary each time a licensee, certificate holder, or other organization wishes to withdraw or cancel a security I

3

facility approval request. This information will be used by the NRC Division of Facilities and Security ac a basis for discontinuing further processing of the application and, if no access to classified information or material is needed, would indicate that pending personnel security access authorization requests should also be canceled.

95.25(d) Records of Combinations. If a record is made of the combination, the record must be marked with the highest classification of material authorized for storage in the container. Superseded combinations must be destroyed.

This information and recordkeeping requirement helps ensure that written lock combinations are properly classified and safeguarded in accordance with provisions of E.O.12958 and its implementing directives.

95.25(g) Posted Information. A record of names of persons having knowledge of the combination must be posted inside the container to ensure that responsible personnel may be contacted in the case of an emergency.

95.25(i) Unattended Security Container Found Open. If an unattended security container housing classified matter is found unlocked, the custodian or an alternate must be notified immediately, and a report filed with the responsible Regional Office and the NRC Division of Facilities and Security. The licensee shall retain records pertaining to these matters for three years after completion of final corrective action.

This informatior, col!sction and recordkeeping requirement assures (1) that the licensee, certificate holder, or other organization complies with the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) directive to report the loss or possible compromise of classified information, and (2) that the NRC may evaluate such occurrences and corrective actions which have been taken. The recordkeeping requirement permits inspection by NRC of records relating to these occurrences.

95.25(j) Supervision of Keys and Padlocks. This section requires that a key and lock register be maintained, and that a monthly audit of keys and locks and a key inventory bc .;erformed with each change of custody. This recordkeeping requirement permits the NRC inspection and review of lock and key accountability records to determine that proper individuals with appropriate level of access authorization are issued keys and locks.

95.33 (a), (b),&(c) Security Education. All cleared employees must be provided with security training and briefings comraensurate with their involvement with classified information. The facility may obtain defensive security, threat awarer,eas. and other education and training information and material from their CSA or other sources.

4

This recordkeeping requirement permits verification through NRC inspection that individuals granted access authorizations are appropriately Indoctrinated as to their individual security responsibilities and duties relative to the protection of classified information.

95.33(d) Security Education. Facility becurity Officers must submit SF-312,

" Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement" to the CSA for retention.

Facility Security Officers must also submit a report to the CSA in the event that an employee refuses to sign SF-312, " Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement."

The SF-312 is a required agreement with the United States not to disclose classified information. Submission of forms to the CSA and reports to the CSA in the event that an employee refuses to sign the SF-312, will allow verification through inspection that requirements are being met so that access to ciassified information can actually be granted.

95.33(h) Security Education Trainina Records. A licensee must maintain records of an individual's initial and refresher security briefings for three years after termination of the individual's access authorization.

Since NRC does not conduct inspections annually, this requirement provides reasonable assurance that records are available when NRC conducts an inspection.

95.36(d) IAEA Visit Records. Records of IAEA visitors and records of inspections and disclosure authorizations must be maintained for five years.

This recordkeeping iequirement and its inspectability through NRC inspections ensures that licensees, certificate holders, or other organizations maintain the proper procedures and controls over the release of classified information to IAEA representatives in accordance with the disclosure authorization granted by the Division of Facilities and Security.

95.37(a) Classification. A licensee must appropriately mark classified information in accordance with provided guidance.

This section requires licensees, certificate holders, and others who possess classified material which is not conducive to markings (e.g., equipment) to request approval for exemption from marking requirements for such material.

This requirement provides assurance that: (1) only those officials delegatec clsssification authority are classifying material, (2) material is not downgraded or declassified without proper authority, and (3) there is accountability for future classification, downgrading and declassification actions.

5

e 95.37(c),(g),and (j) & 95.45(b) Markina Recuirements. A licensee is responsible for applying classification markings for National Security Information and Restricted Data.

These marking and labeling requirements, which require an authorized classifier to place the appropriate classification markings on the document and sign his/her name, will be used whenever an NRC licensee, certificate holder, or contractor authorized classifier originates a classified document or the classification of an existing document is to be changed (e.g., declassified or downgraded). These requirements provide assurance that: 1) only those officials delegated classification authority are classifying documents,2) documents are not downgraded or declassified without proper authority, and 3) there is accountability for future classification, downgrading and declassification actions.

95.37(h) Classification Challences. Persons who wish to challenge a classification status shall refer the document to the originator or authorized classifier. The classifier shall review the document and render a written classification decision to the holders of the information.

This is a required procedure for document custodians to assure that any questions regarding proper classi6 cation are referred to the originator and that appropriate steps to e afeguard the document are taken. The recordkceping requirement permits verification through NRC surveys of actions taken when unauthorized disclosures may have occurred.

95.39(b)(4) External Transmission. This is a requirement when preparing Secret documents for external transmission. It requires that document receipts signed by the recipient be included with the document as a way to officially transfer a Secret document to another person.

This requirement permits verification through inspection that Secret documents that have been transferred to another person are properly accounted for.

95.39(e) Classified Information in Transit. Licensees that have classified matter that, because of the nature of the material, cannot transmit the classified materict via conventional means, must submit a classified matter transportation security plan to the CSA for approval.

The requirement to submit the classified transportation security plan for review ensures that licensee's procedures meet minimum security requirements in this Part.

6

4 95.41 External Receipt and Disoatch of Records. Each licensee, certificate holder or other person possessing classified information shall maintain records of the date of the material, receipts or dispatch, classification, an unclassified

' description of the material, and the identity of the sender for two years after receipt or dispatch.

Since NRC does not canduct annual inspections, this procedure and two year recordkeeping requ'rement provides assurance that records are available when NRC conducts an inspection.

95.43(a) Reproduction of Classified informatior1. This section requires that each licensee, certificate holder or other person possessing classified information establish a reproduction control system to ensure that reproduction of classified material is held to a minimum consistent with operational requirements.

95.43(c) Markina Classified Reproductions. The licensee is required to mark classified reproductions with the same classification markings as the original classified document.

This requirement assures that classified reproductions receive the same protection as other hard-copy classified documents.

95.45(a) & (d) Chanaes in Classification. Requests for downgrading should be forwarded to the NRC Division of Facilities and Security for coordination with the Department of Energy. Any person making a classification change shall forward notice of classification change to all known holders of the document.

These procedures ensure that documents which may warrant downgrading or declassification are reviewed by the NRC Division of Facilities and Security or are referred to the Department of Energy, as may be appropriate, and that all known holders are notified of the action.

95.47 Destruction of Classified Matter. Documents containing classified information may be destroyed. If the document contains Secret information, a record of the subject or the title, document number, if any, originator, its date of origination and the date of destruction must be signed by the person destroying the document and must be maintained in the office of the custodian at the time of destruction. Des'ruction records must be maintained for two years after destruction.

The record retention requirement prescribed by this section permits inspection by NRC of destruction and disposition records and helps to ensure the proper safeguerding of classified information and material.

7

95.53(a)&(b) Security Facility Approval Terminated. If a facility clearance is terminated, the facility shall submit a certification of nonpossession of classified information to the NRC Division of Facilities and Security.

These procedures and notifications ensure that security facility approval is terminated, suspended or revoked when no longer needed or when continuation would endanger the common defense and security. The certificate of nonpossession provides assurance that all classified information and material has been returned to NRC or destroyed in accordance with NRC security requirements.

95.57(a)&(b) Securitv/ Classification Repods. Each licensee or other person having a facility clearance shall immediately report to the CSA and the appropriate Regional Administrator any alleged or suspected violation of Federal acts or statutes, and any infractions, losses, or compromises of classified information.

The precedures in (a) and (b) are necessary to ensure that possible losses, compromises, violations of law and disclosures of classified information are investigated and assessed promptly.

95.57(c) Classification Records. An authorized classifier of a licensee, certificate holder or other organization subject to this Part shall complete and submit to NRC on a monthly basis, an NRC Form 790, " Classification Rc >rd,"

whenever matter containing classified information is generated, its classification changed or it is declassified. This requirement is cleared under OMB approval number 3150-0052.

2. 6aency Use of Information. The reports, security plans and other security information are submitted to the Division of Facilities and Security. The information is used to help determine whether a licensee, certificate holder, or other organization is eligible to use, process, store, transmit or handle NRC classified information. The information is also used for periodic rnviews and inspections to ensure appropriate regulations are continuou!y fellowed. If the information collection was not conducted, these determinations could not be made and the licensees, certificate holders, or other organizations would not be permitted to maintain this classified information which is pertinent to their activities.
3. Reduction of Burden Throuah Information Technoloav. There are no information technology applications which wou!d impact (e.g., reduce) the burden of these information collection requirements. No responses are submitted electronically.

8

4. Effort to identify Dupliestion and to Use Similar Information. Except as noted in 95.57 'CSA could be another federal agency), there is no duplication with any other Federal agency reporting requirements since the nature of the information being requested is unique to NRC's activity at the facility. For the few cases where another agency, normally the Department of Energy, also has an interest at the facility, this regulation specifically reduces or eliminates duplication through acceptance of the other agency's security program to protect the NRC classified information and material.
5. Effod to Reduce Small Business Burden. None of the licensees, certificate holders, or other organizations affected qualify as small business enterprises or entities.
6. Conseauences to Federal Proaram or Policy Activities if the Collection is not Conducted or Conducted Less Frequentiv. Required reports and infor-mation are collected and evalucted on a continuing basis as events occur. Applications for new security facility approvals may be submitted at any time. If not submitted, approval to store NRC classified inforniation will not be processed. Other information collection requirements ensure that once placed at the facility, that information continues to receive the requir6d protection. Less frenuent collection of this information may impact negatively on NRC's responsibility to ensure proper protection and may endanger the U. S. comr.m defense and national security.
7. Circumstances Which Justify Variation from OMB Guidelines. There io no variation from OMB Guidelines in this collection of information.

l

8. Consultation Outside the NRC. The regulation was revised in conformance with the National Industrial Security Program and Executive Order 12958. NRC's requirements and procedures are similar to those of l other government agencies involved with programs requiring the protectiori of, National Security information. Opportunity to comment on this collection was published in the Federal Reaister on August 27,1997 l

(62 FR 45451). No comments were received.

9. Confidentiality of Information. The information collected is used for (1) granting licensees, certificate holders, and others security facility approval; and (2) ensuring the proper protection, classification, and accountability of NRC classified 5. formation. The limited amouiit of I personal information is protected from public disclosure under the Privacy

' Act of 1974 and is handled in accordance with routine uses specified in the Privacy Act Statement on each form.

l 9

l I

l .

10. Justification for Sensitive Questions. No sensitive information is requested under these regulations,
11. Estimated Annual Cost to the Federal Government. The estimated annual cost to the Federal Government in administering the program and procedures contained in these requirements is:

Annual cost - professional effort (1,543 hrs. X $128/hr.) = $197,504 Annual cost - clerical effort

$12,105 (269 hrs. X $45/hr.) ,

Annual cost - recordholding requirement for ongoing program

= $157 (3/4 cubic ft. X $209/ cubic ft.)

Total annual cost = $209,766 These costs are fully recovered through fee assessments to NRC licensees and certificate holders pursuant to 10 CFR 170 and/or 171.

12. Estimate of Burden. The annual cost to the respondents is reflected on Attachment A. The cost of $128.00/hr was used.
13. Reasons for Chanaes in Burden. The burden estimates for Part 95 have increased based on a re-estimate of the amount of time required under sections 95.15(a) and (b) and 95.49 to provide an ADP security proposal and increases under 95.57(a) and (b) for procedures to report suspected violation of Federal Acts or statutes and compromises of classified information.
14. Publication for Statistical Use. There is no application of statistics in the information collected. There is no publication of this information.

B. COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METHODS Not applicable.

OMB SUPPORUNG STATEMENT FOR NRC POLICY STATEMENT," CRITERIA FOR GUIDANCE +

OF STATES AND NRC IN DISCONTINUANCE OF NRC REGULATORY AUTHORITY AND ASSUMPTION THEREOF BY STATES THROUGH AGREEMENT,"

MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING AGREEMENT STATE PROGRAMS, REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION TPROUGH THE INTEGRATED MATERIALS PERFOPMANCE EVALUATION PROGRAM (IMPEP) QUESTIONNAIRE, AND AGREEMENT STATE PARTICIPATION IN IMPEP (3150 0183)

REVISION Qg)cription of the Information Collection States seeking to regulate certain Atomic Energy Act radioactive materials are requested to submit information directly to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Office of State Programs (OSP) related to the management, structure and performance of their radiation control programs (RCPs) in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 274 of the Atumic Energy Act (AEA) anel the criteria identified in the NRC Policy Statement, ' Criteria for Guldar ce of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof By States Through Agreement" (46 FR 7540, January 23,1981; as amended by policy statements published at 46 FR 36969, July 16,1981, and 48 FR 33376, July 21,1983)

(Attachment 1). This policy statement identifies the factors considered by the NRC prior to approving new or amended Agreements. A State which has entered into such an Agreement is referred to as an Agreement State. Presently, there are 30 Agreement States which regulate 72% of the byproduct, source and special nuclear material licensees in the United States.

NRC is required to evaluate Agreement State programs to ensure that its RCP remains adequate and compatible with the requirements of Section 274 of the AEA. NRC issued two final policy statements: ' Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program' and ' Policy Statement on the Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Progran s' on September 3,1997' (62 FR 46517). The former policy statement establishes Agreement State Program principles and describes the respective roles and responsibilities of the NRC and the States in the administration of the Agreement State program. Further, this policy statement provides guidance in delineating the NRC's and the State's respective responsibilities and expectations. The latter policy statement clarifics the meaning and use of the terms *edequate" and ' compatible," as applied to an Agreement State radiation control program. Further, this policy statement provides guidance to the Agreement States, NRC staff, and the public to make clear how the NRC intends to evaluate the adequacy and compatibility of Agreement State programs. On October 16,1997, NRC rescinded the May 28,1992, General Statement of Policy ' Guidelines for NRC Review of Agreement State Radiation Control Programs." (62 FR 53839), since it was superseded by the above final policies.

NRC has implemented a process, noticed in the Fedpral Reaister. known as the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) to evaluate NRC Regionallicensing and inspection programs and Agreement State RCPs in an integrated manner using common performance indicators (" Evaluation of Agreement State Radiation Control Progrart.3,' 60 FR 54734, October 25,1995, and 62 FR 53839, October 16,1997). NRC conducts this program using Management Directive 5.6,' Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program

  • dated September 12,1995. These reviews are performance-based evaluations of the programs and are routinely conducted approximately, but no less frequently than, every four years. IMPEP review teams are composed of NRC staff and Agreement State staff. A questionnaire is utilized by IMPEP review teams to gather information about the RCP to assist the IMPEP team in conducting the evaluation of the adequacy of the State's program to protect public health and safety and in determining the compatibility of the program with Nf1's radiation safety program. The IMPEP questionnaire also includes a request for material to be available for the onsite portion of the IMPEP review. The Agreement States requested that such a list be developed to facilitate the IMPEP review.

The questionnaire requests information about the following RCP performance indicators:

a. Status of the MaterialInspection Program
b. Technical Quality of Inspections
c. Technical Staffing and Training
d. Technical Quality of Licensing
e. Response to Incidents and Allegations
f. Legislation and Program Elements Required for Compatibility
g. Sealed Source and Device Evaluation Pronram
h. Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Program ,
l. Uranium Recovery Program A. JUSTlFICATION
1. Need for and Practical Utility of the Collection of Ir formation.

Section 274 of the AEA permits the NRC to relinquish portions of its regulatory authority to States, The mechanism for inis transfer of authority is a formal Agreement between the Govemor of the State and the NRC. The AEA requires the NRC to perform periodic reviews of each Agreement State to ensure that its RCP remains adequate and compatible with requirements of the Act.

The infom1ation covered by this request is required by the NRC in order to evaluate (1) the adequacy of a State's RCP to protect public health and safety, and (2) the i compatibility of a State's RCP with the NRC's program.

2. Aaency Use of the Information.

As required by the AEA, information received from States under this program assists the NRC in determining (1) the adequacy of a State's RCP to protect public health and safety, and p) the compatibility of a State's RCP with the NRC's program.

3. Reduction of Budfn Throuah Informalign Technoloov.

Each Agreement State is provided with a questionnaire on a computer diskette. This results in a significant decrease in clerical and reproduction costs.

4. Effort to identify Dupligption and Similar Use Information.

The Information Requirements Control Automated System (IRCAS) was searched for any agency duplication. None was found. This information collection is unique to each Agreement State, and no similar information exists.

5. Effort to Reduce Smpil Business Bug 3n None of the State agencies affected qualify as small business enterprises or entities.
6. Consecuences to Federal Prooram or Policy Activities if the Collection is Not Conducted or is Conducted Less Frecuentiv.

Collection of information less frequently than in association with periodic IMPEP reviews of Agreement State programs, which are currently conducted no less frequently than every four years, would significantly reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of thuse reviews. Gathering information at the time of the review assures that the determination of the adequacy of the protection of public health and safety and the compatibility of an Agreement State program with NRC pror ams are based on current information.

7. Circumstances Which Justify Variation From OMB Guidelines.

There is no variation from Of I guidelines.

8. Consultation Outside the NRC.

The IMPEP questionnaire is an updated subset of the prcviously-approved questionnaire used to review existing Agreement State programs (reduction from 85 to 35 questions), which was developed in consultation with the Agreement States in 1992. The questionnaire was evaluated during the interim implementation of IMPEP conducted in FY 06 and 97, Comments received during the interim implementation have been reflected in the updated questionnaire. The former comprehensive questionnaire has been eliminated.

9. Payment or Gift to Respondents.

Not applicable.

10. Confidentiality of the Information.

Proprietary information would be handled with confidentiality. All other information would be made part of the public record.

11. Justification for Sensitive Questiorra.

The IJRC does not require the State to submit any sensitive information.

12. Estimated Burden and Burden Hour Cost Questionnaire The former comprehensive questionnaire has been eliminated. Apprnximately eight of the existing Agreement State programs are requested to respond to an IMPEP questionnaire annually. They expend an average of 45 hours5.208333e-4 days <br />0.0125 hours <br />7.440476e-5 weeks <br />1.71225e-5 months <br /> per Agreement State program, or a total of 360 hours0.00417 days <br />0.1 hours <br />5.952381e-4 weeks <br />1.3698e-4 months <br /> annually. This burden does not include the burden to Agreement State licensees, which is included in OMB clearances for each 10 CFR  ;

Part.

Policy Statement and Maintenance of Proaram lt is estimated that the 30 Agreement States expend a total of approximately 18,300  ;

staff hours annually to maintain all activities associated with their programs (30 x 18,300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br /> = 549,000). Of this, it is further estimated that approximately 40% of that time is expended on program maintenance, or a total of 219,600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> is spent on paperwork burden. The maintenance of the program includes status of the inspection program, technical quality of inspections, training and staffing, technical quality of the inspection program, regulations, and continuing efforts to ma'atain compatibility. The paperwork burden associated with maintenance of the program ,

includes such it.:ngs as documentation of issuance of licenses, preparation of inspection reports and correspondence, preparation of written regulations,

~

documentation of training of Agreement State staff, preparation and documentation of procedures to implement the Agreement State program and general responses to the public with the Agreement States.

Agreement State staff team members participate in eight IMPEP reviews per year for a total of 1440 staff hours. It !s estimated that 20% of this is spent on the paper work burden, or a total of 288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> per year (.20 x 1440 mtaff hours).

It is estimated that a State seeking an Agreement expends approximately 3,600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> annually over a three-year period preparing a proposal for a new Agreement.

13. Estimate of Other Additional Costs None.
14. Estimatpd Annualized Cost to the Federal Govemment The Commission expends about 2,02 professional staff hours annually evaluating review information of established Agreement State programs in support of the IMPEP review program. Staff experience also indicates approximately 259 hours0.003 days <br />0.0719 hours <br />4.282407e-4 weeks <br />9.85495e-5 months <br /> of clerical time is also expended annually. Based upon current estimates, using rr.tes of

$125/ hour and $45/ hour respectively, the annual cost to the Govemment is approximately $335,655.

The Commission expends about 2,700 professional staff hours annually evaluating information submitted by established Agreement State programs in maintenance of their program. Staff experience also indicates approximately 270 hours0.00313 days <br />0.075 hours <br />4.464286e-4 weeks <br />1.02735e-4 months <br /> of clerical time is also expended annually. Based upon current estimates, using rates of

$125/ hour and $45/ hour respectively, the annual cost to the Govemment is approximately $349,650.

The Commission expends about 360 professional staff hours annually evaluating proposal information from a new applicant under consideration to become an Agreement State. This assumption is based on the receipt of a new proposal approximately every three years. Staff experience indicates approximately 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> 5

of clerical time is also expended annually. Based upon the above noted rates, the annual cost to Govemment is approximately $46,620.

Therefore, the total annual cost to the Federal Govemment to review new and existing Agreement State programs is approximately $731,925.

15. Reasons for Chango in Burden.

There has been an increase from 215,280 hours0.00324 days <br />0.0778 hours <br />4.62963e-4 weeks <br />1.0654e-4 months <br /> to 223,632 hours0.00731 days <br />0.176 hours <br />0.00104 weeks <br />2.40476e-4 months <br /> annually based on the increase of the number of Agreement State programs from 29 to 30. [ Note: The 223,032 figure takes into account the fact that Massachusetts, the 30th Agreement State, has a large program and, therefore, a greater than average number of staff (11) devoted to their Agreement State program). The 288 hour0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> burden for Agreement State participation in the IMPEP reviews is a new burden on the Agreement State.

There has been a reduction in the burden for the questionnaire because of the elimination of the previous comprehensive questionnaire and revision and focus of the questionnaire for performance based reviews conducted under IMPEP from 1,073 hours8.449074e-4 days <br />0.0203 hours <br />1.207011e-4 weeks <br />2.77765e-5 months <br /> to 360 hours0.00417 days <br />0.1 hours <br />5.952381e-4 weeks <br />1.3698e-4 months <br /> annually.

With the implementation of the final policy statements, " Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program

  • and " Policy Statement on the Adequacy and Comoatibility of Agreement State Programs," dated September 3,1997 (62 FR 46517), rescission of the May 28,1992, General Statement of Policy,
  • Guidelines for NRC Review of Agreement State Radiation Control Programs,1992,* and implementation of the performance based IMPEP reviews, there has been a reduction in the number of reviews conducted annually from 17 to 8.

The total cost to the government has been increased from $423,899 to $731,925.

16. Publication for Statistical Ust There is no application of statistics in the information collection. There is no publication of this information.
17. Reason for Not Dhplayina the Expiration Datt it is impractical to put the expiration date in the Policy Statement for " Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof By States Though Agreement." Doing so would require republishing the policy statement every time a renewal of the information collection requiremer,ts was approved by OMB.
18. Exceptions to the Certification Statemqnt, Not applicable.

B. COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METHODS Statistical methods are not used in this collection of information.
