,f Cn*,'fnf Yy h4 SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR PART 54 PROPOSED RULE:FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSEJRENEWAL L
DESCRIPTION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION The Atomic Energy Act, which permits renewal of licenses, and the license renewal rule already in effect.(10-CFR 50.51) do not contain specific procedures, criteria, and standards.that' must be satisfied-in order to' renew a license.
The proposed rule s
would establish the procedures, criteria, and standards governing nuclear power plant license renewal, including information submittal and recordkeeping requirements.
A.
JUSTIFICATION.
1.
Need for the Collection of Information The regulatory philosophy underlying the proposed rule on nuclear power plant license renewal is founded on two key:
. principles.
The first principle is that, except for age-related-concerns, the current licensing basis is: suf fici'ent ~ to provide.
reasonable assurance of adequate protection of.the public health and safety.
The second principle is that'a program of aging management is required, to ensure that.the important systems, structures, and components.(SBCs).of the plant will continue to perform their intended safety functions in accordance with the t
current'licenslug basis during the renewal term.
In order to determine the necessary actions that are to i
constitute the aging management program, licensees applying for renewal would be required to perform an integrated plant assessment directed to that purpose.
In this assessment, 88Cs that are important~to license renewal are identified and screened j
to determine which SSCs require aging. management attention but are not already subject to effective aging management programs.
1 The required aging management actions are then-identified, described, and-justified as adequate.
The applicant would be x
required to report in its application the screening methods used, the lists of ssCs resulting from the screening, and the aging management actions that have been or will be taken, together: with their bases.
The NRC would review the application to determine the adequacy of the licensee actions taken and to be taken, as:a basis for approval or denial of license renewal.. The inspection,.
surveillance, testing, and maintenance actions involved in the aging management program will include the requirement for recordkeeping and availability of those records to the NRC for review or' audit as part 'of the NRC's regulatory oversight programs.
klh9' oma
1 1
The specifics of the information collection and the reasons for
'i it are as follows:
10 CFR 54.13(b) requires each applicant or licensee to notify the Commission of information identified by the applicant or licensee as having for the regulated activity significant implication for public health and saft.cy or common defense and security.
10 CFR 54.17, Filing of Application,. requires the filing of an application for a renewed license in accordance with subpart A of 10 CFR Part 2 and 55 50.4 and 50.30 of 10 CFR Part 50.
This section establishes the procedural aspects of the filing.
The information to be included in.the application is addressed in gg 54.19, 54.21, and 54.23, discussed below.
10 CFR 54.17 (h) requires the applicant for a renewed license to agree in writing that it will not permit any individual access to Restricted Data until an investigation has been made and reported
.to the Commission on the character, association and loyalty of such individuals.
This information is necessary to assist the Commission in determining that permitting such persons access to Restricted Data will not endanger the common defense and security.
10 CFR 54.19, Contents of Application - General Information, requires applicants for license renewal to provide the general information specified in S 50.33 (a) through (e), (h), and (i) of Part 50.
The application may incorporate this information by reference.
The NRC needs this information to establish the continued validity, during the renewal term, of general infirmation applicable during the original license.
10 CFR 54.21, Contents of Application - Technical Information, requires applicants for license renewal to provide a supplement to the Final Safety Analysis Report'(FSAR) which presents the technical information required by this Part.
The required information includes the following:
10 CFR 54.21(a) requires an integrated plant assessment which demonstrates that age-related degradation of the facility's systems, structures, and components has been evaluated and that necessary actions have been or will be taken to maintain the facility's licensing basis throughout the renewal term.
The information constituting this assessment ~ includes:
o Compilation of the facility's current licensing basis in a. retrievable and auditable form and characterization of its use as a starting point in the integrated plant assessment.
The NRC needs access to this information to be able to verify that the equipment base of the applicant's assessment has been 2
~-
1 of sufficient scope and comprehensiveness.
o Methods and results of the applicant's screening process to identify those systems, structures, and component that require aging management attention.
The-screening: includes. description of effective programs that are already established during the term of the t
existing license.
The-NRC needs this information toLbe-able to conclude:that aging management' attention is directed to' systems, structures, and components that require it,-while avoiding duplication in areas already receiving effective attention.
Descriptionand'demonstrationofadequacyof) actions o
I taken.or to be taken to manage. age-related degradation.
The NRC needs this information to be satisfied that the-actions will be effective in assuring the continued j
safe-operation of-the plant.
10 CFR 54.21(b) requires a listing of all plant-specific exemptions granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12-and reliefs. pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55 (a) (3).
The NRC needs'this information to determine whether continuing these exemptions and reliefs is justified.
t-10 CFR 54.21(c) requires a description of proposed plant and procedural modifications resulting from' paragraph (a) or (b)1of this section.
The NRC needs'this information to determine the l
acceptability of these modifications from the pertinent safety standpoints.
The totality of the information required:under 5 54.21 is needed-by the NRC to determine whether the actions takenior to be_taken by the applicant with respect'toLage-related degradation of systems, structures, and components provide reasonable assurance that_the facility's operations during the< renewal tera can be conducted in accordtace with the current licensing basis.
10 CFR 54.23, Contents of Application - Environmental Information, requires applicants for license renewal to submit an environmental report which complies with subpart A~of 10 CFR Part 51.^
The NRC requires that information to. determine whether the environmental consequences of the continued operation of the facility during the. renewal term will continueLto be acceptable..
The environmental aspects of nuclear power plant licensenrenewal L
will be further addressed in a forthcoming srparate rulemaking,.
~
involving 10'CFR Part 51.
10 CFR 54.33(c) requires the reporting and recordkeeping of
,E environmental' data to reflect any new information or significant environmental changes associated with operation during_the requested renewal term.
The burden associated with the 3
environmental data will be: incorporated under.the burden for 10 CFR Part 51 once the final rule for 10 CFR 54 is codified and data are available concerning the degree to which environmental data requires updating.
1 10 CFR 54.37, Additional Records and Recordkeeping Requirements, requires holders of renewed licenses to retain in auditable and retrievable form, for the term of the renewed license, all information required >to document compliance with this Part.
The i
NRC needs continuing access to this information for effective continuing regulatory oversight.
2.
gag of the Informatian The information'will be used by.the applicants for and holders of renewed nuclear power plant operating licenses as a basis for the 4
establishment and conduct of their aging management programs and l
by the NRC in its regulatory oversight required by the agency's.
statutory duty to require reasonable assurance that the ccntinued operation of the nuclear power plants during the renewal term will continue'to provide reasonable assurance of the adequate protection of the public health and safety.
3.
Reduction of Burden Throuch Information Technoloav There is no legal obstacle or any obstacle in the proposed rule to licensees reducing the burden associated with this information collection, by use of information technology or otherwise.
The proposed rule does not prescribe the methods for the screening steps or for the conduct of the aging management. activities.
Rather, the applicants and licensees would develop their own methods and describe them for NRC revicw.
A Regulatory Guide concerning the content of applications is expected to provide further guidance to applicants on one. approach to complying with the information submittal requirements in's pport of a license renewal application under the proposed rule.
The Regulatory Guide will be published for public comment before the rule is codified and will be submitted to OMB for review.
4.
Identification and Avoidance of Duolication The proposed rule provides that the license renewal applicant identify BBCs already subject to aging management programs and, where justified as adequate for the renewal. term, retain those programs, limiting the new program development for the renewal term to SSCs not already so covered.
5.
Effort to Use Similar 'Information License renewal for nuclear power plants would be a new activity.
The information collection requirements of the proposed rule are limited to the specific needs of license renewal.
Similar 4
l information is not already available, exceptcas noted under A4, above, for equipment aging management programs already established.
The already available information for such programs j
would be-used under the proposed rule.
6.
Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden The rule, if promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities.
The i
rule would affect only nuclear power plants. _ Companies that own these plants do not fall within the definition of "small-entities."
7.
Consecuences of Less Frecuent Collection The records generated as a result of the proposed. license renewal rule would partly be provided at the time of application for renewal and partly-made available on a continual basis during the renewal term.
Periodic reporting of information is not proposed.-
8.
Circumstances Which Justifv-Variation from OMB Guidelines The recordkeeping requirements of the proposed license renewal rule exceed OMB's requirements by mandating that records be kept for the duration of the renewed license.
'A life of the-license retention period is necessary to ensure that data are t
available for establishing equipment aging trends.
9.
Consultations Outside the NRC-A Public Workshop was held on November 13-14, 1989, in Reston, VA, to solicit early public and regulated industry input and comment in connection with the formulation of the substantive provisions of the proposed rule.
Over 200-persons attended the Workshop and provided comments on a tentative proposed l approach.
l Through an earlier Advance Notice of Proposed Rulamaking, issued on August 29, 1988, the NRC solicited public comments on a document (NUREG-1317) describing regulatory options for nuclear power plant license renewal.
The comments on the options were-taken into account in the formulation of the conceptual framework for the rule that was a-partial basis for the discussions at the November 1989 workshop.
The nuclear industry, through the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (NUMARC), is preparing'a series of technical
'i reports on subjects important to license renewal that the NRC is reviewing for possible adoption as a-partial basis of implementation guidance for the license renewal rule.

Estimate of Burden
.It has been estimated that, on average, each licensee will incur.approximately 130,000 person-hours of paperwork burden to satisfy,NRC's review requirements associated with license renewal.
of this, approximately 85,000 person-nours.are attributed to one-time implementation actions (reporting) and the.
remainder represents a recurring annual recordkeeping burden of approximately 1,400' person-hours per; year over an assumed 32-year period from the time of application-submittal to the end of the renewal, term.
These estimates capture the licensee's engineering and management licensing reviews, and clerical activities identified in the 10 CFR Part 54 rulemaking.
The burden estimates reportable under OMB paperwork requirements are less than those identified in the regulatory analysis-(RA).
This is because in the RA it was assumed that, in addition _to the paperwork requirements needed to satisfy NRC requirements, the licensee would have to perform additional analyses to satisfy its own safety concerns.
During the initialithree-year OMB clearance, the average annual burden would be 30io00 hours and i
l 1,400 hours0.00463 days <br />0.111 hours <br />6.613757e-4 weeks <br />1.522e-4 months <br /> annually per licensee thereafter.
l-Based on utility labor rates, the NRC staff estimates that on a per-reactor basis the rule would result :bs an up-front' paperwork cost of about $4.75 million-and an annua 1' recurring, cost of about $76,000 for a period of 32-years.
The up-front and recurring costs are spread over a 35-year time-frame,1which captures the licensee's pre-application activities, the-submittal of the_applice. tion to the NRC and the time needed for NRC's
)
refice, and the period covered by the new license.
Determining the per-rcector total cost impact requires discounting the various cost elehents to a particular datum year keyed to a= major milestone.
The milestone selected corresponds to the point in time when the licensee-submits a license renewal application to the NRC.
The per-reactor present-worth total cost expressed in 1990 dollars, ranges between.$5.7-million and $6.0 million,-based on a 10% and 5% real discount rate, respectively.
l Expressing the paperwork burden on an industry-wide basis can be problematic because each licensee will submit its individual renewal application and thus reach its datum _ year at a different point.in time.
The staff estimates that these datum-6
t 0
p years will occur between 1991 and 2023.
The huge time span involved could create a misleading impression if, for example, all costs were discounted back to the present (1990).
Alternatively, to characterise the total industry burden as 50 times or 100 times (assuming 50 or 100 reactors pursue license renewal) the present-worth cost for one reactor is not strictly correct, because of the timing differences among the reactor i
population.
In addition, it is expected that the paperwerk burden will vary widely among the affected plants and that as licensees learn more about age-related degradation management these burdens may be substantially altered -- probably lower --
in the future.
For'these rennons, industry-wide costs were not calculated in the RA and are not provided here either.
Almost the entire paperwork burden stems from 5 54.21, which specifies the technical information requirements.
It should be noted that 5 54.17, which requires filing of a license renewal application, imposes a burden only indirectly, through SS 54.19, 54.21, and 54.23, which specify the content of the application.
r The burden imposed by 5 54.19.- which specifies the general information requirements in the content of the application, imposes a burden that is minimal in comparison with the technical information burden, partly because the scope of the information require? is limited but mainly because S 54.19 permits -- and would largely result in -- incorporation by reference to existing documents.
The environmontal information burden resulting from S 54.23 is not inc.luded in this burden estimate.
Rather, it will be included in the burden estimate that will accompany a forthcoming proposed rule change for 10 CFR Part 51, which will specify criteria for bounding and limiting the environmental information requirements, with the likely effect of reducing the burden to l
less than what would be required under the existing 10 CFR Part 51.
10 CFR 54.37 requires recordkeeping in auditable and retrievable form for certain information that must be reported or recorded pursuant to SS 54.19, 54.21, and 54.23.
Accordingly, the paperwork burden of 5 54.37 can be regarded as part of the paperwork burden of SS 54.19, 54.21, and 54.23 (mainly 54.21).
Burden in the amount of 28,334 hours0.00387 days <br />0.0928 hours <br />5.522487e-4 weeks <br />1.27087e-4 months <br /> annually for each of two l
licensees will be submitted by correction worksheet for l
incorporation into the OMB inventory for reporting and 1,400 for each of two licensees for annual recordkeeping during the 3 year clearance for a total ephimated burden of 59,468.
Adjustments will be made as licensets apply for renewed licenses.

13.
Estimate of Cost to the Federal Government The NRC paperwork burden related to the new requirements specified in the nuclear power plant license renewal rule is estimated to be about 85,000 person-hours per nuclear power reacter.
Of this, about 20,000 person-hours are expected to be incurred ps part of the review of the licensee's application submittal.
These are up-front labor expenditures.
The balance of the NRC's estimated effort, roughly 65,000 person-hours, will be incurred on an annual basis starting as soon as the renewed license is granted and continuing to the and of the license renewal term.
This equates to an annual labor burden of roughly 2200 person-hours per reactor.
This effort would be expended to review licensee's ongoing aging assessments and aging management activities.
The staff estimates that the NRC's cost burden to review a licensee's application for license renewal w.!11 be about $1.7 million per reactor in up-front expenditures.
In addition, the annual cost incurred over the term of a 30-year renewed license is estimated to be about $200,000 per reactor.
These costs are based on a fully burdened NRC labor rate of $92 per person-hour.
The per-reactor present worth total cost expressed in 1990 dollars ranges from between $3.2 million and $4.5 million, based on real discount rates of 10% and 5% respectively.
These costs l
are approximately 50% higher than those cited in the Regulatory j
Analysis (RA) bestyse the NRC labor rate used in the RA was based on incremental cest and as such does not include the full overhead loading burden that is incorporated for OMB reporting l
purposes.
