considered a small manufacturing business as defined in the Small l

B ness Size Standards issued by the SBA at 13 CFR Part 121 or a small entity as set forth at Section 601(3) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the estimated amortized annual cost of $5,000 for ASME approval of their manufacturing operation would not appear to represent a significant economic impact.

l The NRC further assumes that no significant additional costs will be f

incurred by small entities in the manufacture of components to the ASME Code for use in nuclear power plants as a result of this proposed rule change.

This assumption is based on the facts that Appendices A and B of this part already require in a general manner quality standards and a quality assurance program that parallel the -equirerents of the ASME Code.

In fact, the ASME g

j Code has become the NRC an Industry standard for acceptance in the compliance with these appendices.

Incorporating by reference the ASME Code would standardize such requirements in a more specific manner.
