Acceptance of EPFAQ No. 2013-002
Dear Mr. Hug:
Thank you for your recent submission of EPFAQ No. 2013-002, Since the rule established a new requirement for licensees to develop an ETE analysis based on most recent decennial census data and submit its results between 12/23/2011 and 12/22/2012 (365 days later, 2012 being a leap year), when must the first estimate of EPZ permanent resident population changes be completed?
The FR language [76 FR 72580, 3rd column] states Thereafter [after submitting the decennial Census based ETE],
these licensees are required to annually review changes in the population At this time, your comment has been accepted for review by appropriate U.S. NRC staff. You will be notified via email when EPFAQ No. 2013-002 has been added to www.regulations.gov for a 30-day public comment period. At that time, the ADAMS accession number and Federal Register Notice docket number will be provided for your reference.

comments: Since the rule established a new requirement for licensees to develop an ETE analysis based on most recent decennial census data and submit its results between 12/23/2011 and 12/22/2012 (365 days later, 2012 being a leap year), when must the first estimate of EPZ permanent resident population changes be completed?
The FR language [76 FR 72580, 3rd column] states Thereafter [after submitting the decennial Census based ETE], these licensees are required to annually review changes in the population proposed-solution: The first EPZ permanent resident population change estimate must be performed within 365 days following the date the updated ETE required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Part IV.4 was submitted to the NRC.
Basis for the answer: The Federal Register Notice [76 FR 72580, 3rd column] states - The NUREG/CR-7002 guidance is an acceptable template to meet the requirements for ETE analysis development and nuclear power reactor licensees should use this guidance, or an appropriate alternative, when developing an ETE analysis or analysis update. The first set of 2010 census data is expected to be available in 2011. The NRC will establish a schedule for review of the updated ETEs. After the licensee submits the ETE analysis for NRC review, these ETEs will be known as the licensees updated ETEs, as opposed to the approved ETEs, which are the ETEs approved by the NRC when it issues a license.
Thereafter, these licensees are required to annually review changes in the population of their EPZs. To complete these reviews, licensees will use data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which annually produces resident population estimates and State/local government population data, if available. These reviews must be conducted no more than 365 days apart.
