SUMMARY
- The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act o' 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).-
1.
Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision 2.
The title of the information collection: Changes, Tests and Experiments, and Updating of Final Safety Analysis Reports (10 CFR Parts 50,52 an'd 0
/
72) 3.
The form numberif applicable: Not applicable (Jd~f(UO 4.
How often the collection is required: Information is required to be collected when changes, tests or experiments are made by the licensee; 9811050018 981000 PDR ORG EUSOMB Pm C

2 reporting of these changes is required either on an annual basis (Part 72 facilities and nonpower reactors), or every two years (power reactors).
l Updating the final safety analysis report (FSAR ) is required on an annual basis for independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSis), with up to two years for power reactor facilities (updating not required for nonpower l
reactors).
5.
Who will be required or asked to report: Reports are to submitted by licensees of production or utilization facilities licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 and by licensees and certificate holders for ISFSis and spent fuel storage casks, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 72.
6.
An estimate of the annual number of responses: Responses are required on a periodic basis from licensees or certificate holders. Summary reports of changes, and submittal of FSAR update pages are required; some of these submittals are required on an annual basis, and some are on a two year cycle. In addition, an application for amendment of a cask certificate by a certificate holder is expected to be submitted from about half of the holders per year. The annual number of responses thus is estimated as 253 reports.
l 7.
The estimated number of annual respondents: The total number of respondents under Part 50 is 178 reactor licensees. In addition, there are 18 respondents subject to Part 72. Since some of the reporting for power
3 reactors is on a two-year cycle, the annual number of respondents'is estimated as 153 respondents.
8.
An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: The total number of hours annually is estimated at 479,789 hours0.00913 days <br />0.219 hours <br />0.0013 weeks <br />3.002145e-4 months <br /> (an increase of 66,099 hours0.00115 days <br />0.0275 hours <br />1.636905e-4 weeks <br />3.76695e-5 months <br />)-- 133,160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> (an increase of 4,380) for reporting; 293,560 hours0.00648 days <br />0.156 hours <br />9.259259e-4 weeks <br />2.1308e-4 months <br /> (an increase of 8,650) for recordkeeping. This total estimate also includes an annualized one-time j
burden of 53,069 hours7.986111e-4 days <br />0.0192 hours <br />1.140873e-4 weeks <br />2.62545e-5 months <br /> for implementation of the revisions to the rule through procedures and training of personnel. The hours needed depend i
upon the number and complexity of changes that a licensee chooses to 1
make. The hours needed for a power reactor respondent are estimated to be significantly greater than those for a spent fuel storage cask certificate holder or ISFSI licensee.

An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L.104-13 applies:

Abstract: The NRC is proposing to revise requirements pertaining to changes, tests, and experiments, and for updating of final safety analysis reports. The purpose of the rulemaking is to clarify requirements and to allow more flexibility for certain changes that a licensee could make without receiving prior NRC approval. The NRC estimates that these rule changes wi!I hava r,nly a minor impact upon the existing reporting and
i 4
recordkeeping requirements in these sections of NRC regulations. There l
will be a one-time burden for revision of procedures and training.,
