Part 19 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), requires licensees to advise workers
on an annual basis of any radiation exposure in excess of 1 mSv
(100 mrem) they may have received as a result of NRC-licensed
activities or when certain conditions are met. These conditions
apply during termination of the worker's employment, at the request
of the workers, former workers, or when the worker's employer (the
NRC licensee) must report radiation exposure information on the
worker to the NRC. Part 19 also establishes requirements for
instructions by licensees to individuals participating in licensed
activities and options available to these individuals in connection
with Commission inspections of licensees to ascertain compliance
with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and regulations,
orders and licenses there under regarding radiological working
conditions. The worker should be informed of the radiation dose he
or she receives because: (a) that information is needed by both a
new employer and the individual when the employee changes jobs in
the nuclear industry; (b) the individual needs to know the
radiation dose received as a result of the accident or incident (if
this dose is in excess of the 10 CFR Part 20 limits) so that he or
she can seek counseling about future work involving radiation,
medical attention, or both, as desired; and (c) since long-term
exposure to radiation may be an adverse health factor, the
individual needs to know whether the accumulated dose is being
controlled within the NRC limits. The worker also needs to know
about health risks from occupational exposure to radioactive
materials or radiation, precautions or procedures to minimize
exposure, worker responsibilities and options to report any
licensee conditions which may lead to or cause a violation of
Commission regulations, and individual radiation exposure reports
which are available to him.
Total The total burden estimate
decreased from 329,273.7 hours to 320,968.9 hours and the
respondents decreased from 21,000 to 20,300 (3,000 NRC licensees +
17,300 AS licensees). The decrease in the number of hours is due to
a decrease in the number of Agreement State licensees. Responses
decreased from 1,426,121.8 responses to 1,401,163.0. The decrease
in the number of responses is due to a decrease in the number of
Agreement State licensees. The current submission does not
represent any changes in the requirements for licensees. NRC
Licensees The burden estimate for NRC licensees changed from
52,825.9 hours to 51,447.3 hours, a decrease of 1,378.6 hours. This
decrease is attributed to a decrease in the number of NRC licensees
subject to the reporting requirements in 10 CFR 22.2206. The
estimated number of NRC licensee responses changed from 267,829
responses (1 reporting response + 3,000 recordkeepers + 264,828
third-party disclosure responses) to 251,702.8 responses (1
reporting response + 3,000 recordkeepers + 248,701.8 third party
disclosure responses), a decrease of increase of 16,126.2
responses. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in the number
of NRC licensees subject to the reporting requirements in 10 CFR
22.2206. Agreement State Licensees The burden estimate for NRC
licensees changed from 276,447.9 hours to 269,521 hours, a decrease
of 6,926.9 hours. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in the
number of Agreement State licensees. The estimated number of
Agreement State licensee responses changed from 1,158,292.8
responses (6 reporting response + 18,000 recordkeepers +
1,140,286.8 third-party disclosure responses) to 1,149,460.2
responses (6 reporting response + 17,300 recordkeepers +
1,132,154.2 third-party disclosure responses) , a decrease of
increase of 8,832.6 responses. This decrease is attributed to a
decrease in the number of Agreement State licensees.
