Dear Mr. Hill:
In accordance with Section 3507 of Public Law 96-511 of December 11, 1980 and regulations of the Office of Management and Budget, I am enclosing for the review of OMB copies of Standard Forn-83 and the Supporting Statement covering reporting and recordkeeping requirements of an Amendment to 10 CFR 20. The respandent barden is 768 probable, however, it is anticipated that the burden will be considerably smaller since only violations are reported. In accordance with NRC's procedures, my staff has made an independent review of the practical utility and necessity for the proposed information collection and we are in concurrence with this proposal. We have also reviewed for duplication and found no similar requirement in the agency. Therefore, we are transmitting this material for appropriate OMB review and approval. Sincerely, l' Daniel J. onoghue, Director (/ Office of Administration
Enclosure:
As stated O b 1 i l l l 1 i
i SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR 20 AMENCMENT 1. Justification A. On January 13, 1977, the Environmental Protection Agency issued regulations setting forth environmental radiation protection standards for tne uranium fuel cycle (40 CFR Part 190). These regulations became effective for uranium fuel cycle plants on Decemcer I, 1979. In essence, the regulations require that radioactivity in planned effluent releases, radon and its daughters, excepted frcm fuel cycle plants be limited so that no member of the public will receive an annual dose equivalent of more than 25 millirems to the whole body,, 75 millirems to the thyroid or 25 millirems to any other organ. The NRC, as the " Regulatory Agency" defined in 40 CFR Part 190, is responsible for assuring that uranium fuel cycle plants licensed by tne Cccmission meet the requirements of the new envircnmental radiation protection standards. To assure compliance, the licenses of all plants subject to the new regulations 20.405(c) is amended to include an additional reporting requirement to limit the concentra-tion of radioactivity in the environment so that the dosa equivalents would not be exceeded. B. The NRC staff attempted to identify duplication but determined that there are no other repcets which include this infomation. EPA does not already collect this infomation. EPA is responsible for setting acceptable standards; NRC is responsible for enforcing the standards. (1) NRC frposed this requirement via Orders issued to effected t licensees while rule was in rulemaking process. This action was approved by GAO on March 3,1981 under control number R0709. 4 (2) The effective regulations implement existing EPA requirements f in 40 CFR 190, which in turn stem from the Atomic Energy Act and Reorganization Plan No. 3 as implemented in the AEC/ EPA Interagency Agreement of 1973. EPA requires uranium fuel cycle facilities to limit releases of radioactive material. The NRC reporting require-ments would allow NRC to identify violations of the EPA requirements. There are no other alternative data sources since only the individual licensees have access to the data. It is anticipated that respon-dents could not physically obtain the information en releases of radioace.ive material and properly identify violations in less than one half hour. 2. Descriotion of the Information Collection A. The potential response will be from approximately 17 uranium mills, 7 commercial uranium fuel fabrication plants, 2 uranium hexafluoride plants and 70 power reactors. 1,
B. License ccnditions will be imposed on individual licensees to report violations, similar to reports of any violation of NRC regulations. C. There will be no proposed tests / pretests prior to implementation; infor nation collection involves no statistical requirement or surveys. Reports will only be required in the event of c violation of NRC regulations. Because a violation is an unusual occurrence, an exact numcer cannot be predicted. However, very few are expected. No consultation regarding statistical aspects was made. Licensee is not required to submit data in a prescribed format. NRC's Office of Inspection and Enforcement will collect data. No renumeration will be provided to respondents. 3. Tabulation and Publication Plans Violation reports will be filed with individual licensees in their Public Document Rooms. In additi an, they will be held in the Office of Inspection and Enforcement (IE) pending enforcement action which may be taken against the licensee. Individual licensees will be required to report violations of this regulation similar to the reporting of violations of other NRC regulations. The Office of Inspection and Enforcement will comply with the Freedem of Infor nation Act, the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular AlC8 when enforcing this regulation in the same manner as it has when enforcing other NRC regulations. No current plans for tabulation or publication. Primarily for use in enforcement actions. However, if violation is part of a larger problem, it could be reported to Congress as a significant incident pursuant to Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. 4. Time Schedule for Information Collection and Publication Potential collection period will extend through the expiration date of individual licenses (variable). Violations must be reported within 30 days of occurrence. 5. Consultations Outside the Agency A. The amendments were published for public coment on April 17, 1980 (45 FR 26072), with comments requested by June 16, 1980. Timely coments were received from Northeast Utilities, Duke Power Cnmpany, j Consumers Power Company, and the County of San Diego. -t j i
~ B. The public comments are available for free inspection or copying for a fee at the NRC Public Occument,1717 H Street, Washington, D.C. 20555. No significant adverse comments or questions were received on the proposed amendments during the public comment period. 6. Estimate of Resocndent Burden The new reporting requirement is similar to other reporting requirements (already approved by GA0) for cases where other NRC regulations are violated. Cost estimates are based on staff estimates similar to those done in the past. All operating reactors, uranium mills, UFs plants, and commercial uranium fuel fabrication plants will be subject to the reporting requirement, currently a total of 96 licensees. - About 8 professional man-hours will be required to prepare a report, which would be a few pages in length. One copy of the report will be forwarded to the NRC regicnal office and one copy will be forwarded to the NRC Headquarters Office, at a cost of about $100. In addition to the necessary staff time. Staff time is estimated to be 525.C0 an hour for a total cost to industry of $28,800 (59,600 administrative cost and $19,200 staff cost). The NRC staff expects very few reports, so ;he burden on licensees will be minimal. Data on SF-83 reflects the parsibility of one report per licensee. 7. Sensitive cuestions Not applicable. 8. Estimate of cost to Federal Government The NRC staff will review any report received. The review could take from one hour. Since very few reports are expected, the cost to NRC will be minimal. Costs to the government are estimated to be the cost of 1 hour of a GG-14 reviewer's time, i.e., $38 an hour (witn a 100% factor for overhead) and I hour of administrative processing time, i.e., $14 an hour (with a 100% factor for overhead). BaseJ on the possibility of one report per license, this cost would be 96 v52 for a probable total cost to Federal government of $4,992. i .t
~- ~ [7590-01] NUCLEAR REGULATORY COW 1ISSION 10 CFR Part T.0 i ENVIRCNMENTAL RADIATION PROTECTION STANDARDS FOR NUCLEAR POWER OPERATIONS AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Ccamission. ACTION: Final Rule. SUM 4ARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Ccmission is amending its regulations to incorporate the existing Environmental Protection Agency requirement acle licensees to ccmply with the EPA's for certain uranium fuet " Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Opera-tions". These standards require certain uranium fuel cycle facilities to be operated such that releases of radioactive materials and resulting radiation doses to the public are below specified limits. The amendments also require licensees to submit reports to NRC when those standards have been or may be exceeded. EFFECTIVE DATES: The. effective dates for the existing requirement to comply with EPA's 40 CFR Part 190 are already specified in 40 CFR 5190.12: December 1,1979 for most operations; December 1,1980 for uranium mills; and January 1, 1983 for discharges of krypton-85 and iodine-129. Theeffectivedateforthereportingrequirementbeingaddedti 10 CFR S 20.405 is (90 days after publication). 1 ^' ~ -.. ~ _,
[7530-01] 'l FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John W. N. Hickey, Office of Str.nd-ards Development, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 (phone:(301)443-5966). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations in 10 CFR Part 20, " Standards for Protection ~ Against Radiation," to incorporate the existing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirement for compliance with 40 CFR Part 190, " Environ-mental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations." The EPA published 40 CFR Part 190 on January 13, 1977 (42 FR 2858). In accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding between EPA and the former Atomic Energy Commission (38 FR 24936, September 11, 1973), NRC is responsible for enforcing the provisions of 40 CFR Pa-t 190 for NRC licensees. Title 40 CFR Part 190 requires certain uranium fuel cycle facilities s to be operated so that releases of radioactive material and resulting radiation doses to the public are below specified limits. The effective dates for compliance are December 1,1979 for most operations; December 1, 1980 for uranium mills; and January 1,1983 for discharges of krypton-85 and iodine-129. The regulation provides that under certain circumstances variances may be granted by the regulatory agency responsible for enforcing 40 CFR Part 190. The amendments to NRC regulations state that NRC licensees sust comply l with 40 CFR Part 190, and require licensees to submit reports to NRC when i 40 CFR Part 190 limits have been or may be violated. The NRC has submitted these amendments to the Comptroller General l i! 5 l
) [7590-0Q for sur.h review as may be appropriate under the Federal Reports Act, as amended, 44 U.S.C. 3512. The date on which the reporting requirement of this rule becomes effective reflects inclusion of the 45-day period f which that statute allows for such review (44 U.S.C. 3513(c)(2)). As discussed in the notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission has concluded that an environmental impact statement for the amendments is not required, because they will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The amendments were published for public comment on April 17, 1980 (45 FR 26072), with comments requested by June 16, 1980. Timely com-ments were received from Northeast Utilities, Duke Power Company, Con-sumers Power Company, and the County of San Diego. The public :omments are available for free inspection or copying for a fce at the NRC Public Document Room,1717 H Street, Washington, D.C. 20555. No significant adverse comments or questions were received on the proposed amendments during the public comment period. Therefore, they are being published in final form with only one mino~ -hange. Following is a discussion of the issues raised by the public comments.1 Mn Octocer,1980 approximately four months after the comment period closed, several operators of uranium mills jointly filed later comments on this pro-posed rule. They basically requested the Commission to defer implementation of the NRC program to enforce Part 190 at uranium mills. Recognizing that .their comments were late, these operators requested in the alternative that their filing be treated as a petition to rescind any NRC regulations imposing Part 190 requirements on uranium mills. In a separate action, the American l Mining Congress also moved the Commission in October, 1980 to stay implementa-tion and enforcement of Part 190 at NRC licensed uranium mills. The Commission is currently considering these filings. However, the issuance of these amend-sents as a final rule needs not be delayed. For the most part, these amendments l simply incorporate into 10 CFR Part 20 the NRC's already existing responsibility to enforce 40 CFR Part 190 at fuel cycle faclities including uranium mills. l Issuance of these amendments as a final rule does not modify that responsi-bility. Thus, because these amendments do not change the status quo regarding the Commission's authority, they can be issued before the Commission reacnes a decision on pending requests to delay enforcement of Part 190. _I 3 5 l l l
1. (7590-01] 1. One comment stated that the anendments were unnecessary because licensees are already required to ccmply with 40 CFR Part 190. The pur-pcse of the amendments is to incorporate the existing 40 CFR Part 190 requirements into NRC regulations to make it more clear that compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 is required. 2. One ccament stated that the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 and 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I should be combined, because both regulations relate to radioactive releases frca nuclear power reactors. This is not practical because 40 CFR Part 190 also applies to fuel cycle facilities other than power reactors, and because the two regulations are not identi-cal. However, whenever possible, the NRC staff is avoiding unnecessary .- duplicative requirements for reactors by combining release limits and reporting requirements for 40 CFR Part 190 with existing Appendix I requirements in individual licensees' technical specifications. s 3. One comment expressed concern that 40 CFR Part 190 applied to combined radiation doses from all fuel cycle facilities, making it difficult to determine compliance. EPA addressed this issue when 40 CFR Part 190 was published. EPA stated: ...in the vast majority of situa-tions, the sum of all reasonably postulable contributions from sources other than the immediate site will be small compared to these standards and should be ignored in assessing compliance" (42 FR 2858, January 13, 1977). 4. One comment pointed out that 40 CFR Part 190 allows for licensees ' to obtain variances to exceed 40 CFR Part 190 limits under temporary and unusual conditions, and requested NRC to specify procedures for obtain-ing such variances. Because variances will be considered only in unusual cases, it is preferable to treat each case on an individual basis. This I 4 i, ~ mo
