L SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR Part 50.54 for Licensees to Furnish Controlled Copies of Emergency Plans and Changes lto Plans JUSTIFICATION The Nuclear Regulatory Commission amended its regulations in order to require that all production and utilization facility licensees shall, as a. condition of their license, submit emergency plans for t;RC review and approval and maintain the emergency plan ~s'up to date.

planning is focused primarily on situati The Commission's interest in emergency

. ons that may threaten'to cause radiological risks affecting the health and safety of workers or the public.

The Commission and the public have recognized the importance of emergency planning.

Emergency plans should be directed-toward mitigating the consequences of emergencies and should provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can and will be taken to protect the public health and safety in the event of an emergency. Although it is not possible to develop a completely detailed plan encompassing every conceivable type of _ emergency situation, advance planning can create a high order of preparedness, including provisions of necessary equipment, supplies, and services, and ensure an orderly and timely decision-making process at times of stress.

Emergency plans are required as a condition of an application and are submitted as part of the FSAR or final license application to address the elements existing in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.

Some of the items addressed in an emergency plan are:

(1) means for determining the magnitude of a release of radioactive material; (2) criteria for determining the need for notification and participation of local and State agencies; (3) criteria for determining when protective measures should be considered within and out. side the site boundary; (4) onsite decontamination facilities and supplies; and (5) arrange-ments for services of qualified medical personnel to handle radiation emergencies.

As noted above, the Coninission must find that the emergency plan conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, and the plan provides reasonable assurance that, in the event of an emergency, appropriate measures can and will be taken to protect public health and safety.

The current regulation requires three copies of the emergency plan and three copies of cha.nges to NRC regional office directors and 10 copies of each sent to the Director ~of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

A distinction should be made between an emergency plan and the implementation procedures (10 CFR 50, Appendix E) of the emergency plan.

Emergency plans must be submitted by the applicant and reviewed by the NRC before an operating license can be granted. ~A set of implementing procedures is required in order to transfer the descriptions in the plan into detailed step-by-step"instruc-tions for plant personnel.

i

6 These are inspected by the Office of Inspection and Enforcement periodically.

Therefore, the thrust of this amendment is not directed to the implementing procedures but to the emergency plan (as submitted in the FSAR).

Section 50.54(q)' authorizes licensees to malie changes to their emergency plans if such changes do~ not' decrease the effectiveness of the plans and the plans, as changed, continue to meet Appendix E of 10 CFR Part 50.

It also requires that 3 copies of these changes be sent to the appropriate NRC regional office'and 10 copies be sent to the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation within 30 days after the change is made.

Proposed changes that decrease the effectiveness of the emergency. plans must be submitted to and-approved by the Comission prior to implementation. The rule also requires the same number (13) of copies of such proposed changes to be submitted.

i The proposed rulemaking' reduces the requirement for the number to be submitted to only 3 copies of each change.

It also establishes the requirement for controlled copies with concomitant receipt that must be signed by the NRC staff designated to maintain emergency plans current.

The NRC staff will review new and updated' emergency plans to determine whether or not licensees have devised effective pTans for handling emergency situations.

The Office of Inspection and Enforcement will conduct periodic checks at licensees' facilities' to assure that the plans are updated to reflect changing conditions.

There is no source for the required information other than licensees.

Description of survey plan These recordkeeping and reporting requirements will affect approximately

'~

145 licensees.

Tabulation and publication plans There are no plans to publish the data.

Time schedules for data collection and publication 50.54(q) requires submission of plan within 30 days after change.

There are no plans to publish the data.

Consultations outside the agency Th'is proposed rulemaking-will be published'in the Federal Register and public coments invited.

Estimation of respondent reporting burden Seventy power reactor licensees previously had burden of 3,200-each for submitting emergency plans. This proposed rulemaking decreases staff time for reproducing copies..New estimated burden is 3,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />. Total for 70 power reactors is 21,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> annually.

Seventy-five research/ test reactor licensees previously had burden of 40 staff hours for submitting emergency plans. This. proposed rulemaking decreases staff time for reproducing copies. The estimated burden is 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> per licensee for a total of 2,250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> annually.

Total burden is 23,250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> for filing amendments to emergency plans.

Previous burden reported to OMB in August 1981 was 227,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />. This figure included original submittal for emergency plan. This proposed rulemaking decreases burden.

Sensitive questions None are required in this proposed rulemaking.

Estimate of cost to Federal Government NRC estimated one staff month per year for review of original emergency plans.

If an annual salary of $25,000 is assumed for NRC reviews, a cost of about

$2,000 per year will result.

NRC estimated 14,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> for processing all amendments filed annually at'a cost of $560,000.

(Approximately 3 per year per applicant.)

NRC staff time involved in signing receipt for controlled copies copies is negligible and would provide an incremental change in the previous estimate of

$560,000.

Total burden to government for emergency preparedness plans is estimated at

$562,000.
