Short Statement: This generic clearance was approved in February 2023 with 4,200 responses. The NRC staff had used almost all of these responses within one year of the clearance approval. As a result, this request approximately triples the number of requested responses to 13,300 (an increase of 9,100 responses) in order to cover the full three year clearance period. The burden has been increased from 1087.5 to 2,708 (an increase of 1,620.5 hours). Most of the increase in responses are for very low burden requests. The largest increases are for the following activities: • Agency program offices have begun to use mobile technology to get immediate feedback to promote discussion during meetings. These “flash” customer feedback surveys typically take less than one minute and the results are immediately available to meeting facilitators. The NRC staff has added burden for this type of feedback, which tends to have high response rates and low burden. 100 hours and 6,000 responses have been added for this activity. • Burden estimates for class or event presentation evaluations has increased. In the last clearance cycle, 690 responses and 138 hours were used for feedback on classroom evaluations in the first year alone. The NRC staff anticipates additional burden in this area and has estimated 2,000 responses and 500 hours for these activities. • In anticipation of future remote usability studies, the staff added 450 responses and 650 hours for this type of activity. In the previous renewal, no burden was estimated for these type of studies. Finally, cost estimates have increased due to a change in the agency’s fee rate from $288/hr to $300/hr.
