, , ,e, SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR PROPOSED RULE 10 CFR 50, APPEN0!X J, QVII.B.

A. JUST!FICATION

1. Need for the Collection of Information.

The containments of all light-water-cooled reactor power plants must be periodically leakage tested. These leakage tests help assure that any radioactive materials released into the containment will be suitably contained and that releases to the outside environment will be small. The leakage test requirements are specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, " Leakage Tests for Containments of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants."

Adoption of the amended rule would add the following reporting requirement in Paragraph VII.B. By 180 days after the effective date of the amendment, each licensee and each applicant for an operating license shall submit a plan to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation for implementing the amended Appendix. This plan is in place of a universal, automatic compliance date, and provides more flexibility to licensees in implementing the revised rule.

2. Agency Use of Information.

Use of this implementation approach permits a more practical and orderly phasing-in of new Technical Specifications and Appendix J testing procedures than would otherwise be possible. NRC staff review and approval of implementation plan will be within 6 months of submittal.

3. Reduction of Burden Through Information Technology.

There are no information technology applications which would I

reduce the burden associated with this information collection.

l l

t 4 Effort to Identify Duplication.

The information being requested is unique to NRC's activity and therefore there is no duplication. FILS was searched with negative results.

5. Effort to Use Similar Information.

No similar information exists, since this report is an implementation schedule requested in lieu of arbitrarily imposing the revised rule immediately.

6. Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden.

Nuclear power plant licensees, those affected by this reporting requirement, are not "small entities" as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act or The Small Business Administration at 13 CFR part 121.

7. Consequences of Less Frequent Collection.

As a one-time only report, there is no less frequent collection.

8. Circumstances Which Justify Variation From OBM Guidelines.

There are no special circumstances that require the collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6.

9. Consultations Outside the NRC.

The proposed rule revision is being published in the Federal Register for public comment, so all interested parties outside the NRC will have equal opportunity to provide input to the final rule.

10. Confidentiality of Information.

No assurance of confidentiality of information has been requested or provided.

11. Justification for Sensitive Ouestions.

l No questions of a sensitive nature are being asked of the nuclear l

12. Estimated Annualized Cost to the Federal Government.

Implementation schedules will be reviewed in lieu of exemption requests that would otherwise be submitted if the rule were made effective imediately and arbitrarily. However, taken over 3 years, the annualized cost of review and approval of 127 responses x 120 hours0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br /> x $60,00/hr 3 years would be $304,800.

13. Estimate of Burden.

a. As a one-time only report, the annualized burden to nuclear power plant licensees taken over 3 years would be 20,320 hours0.0037 days <br />0.0889 hours <br />5.291005e-4 weeks <br />1.2176e-4 months <br /> 3 years = 6773.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> annually.

b. As above, the annual cost, taken over 3 years would be 6773.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> x $60.00/ hour which equals $406,398.00 annually,

c. Estimated one-time reporting burden.

1. Number of respondents = 127 (93 operating + 34 underconstruction)

2. Number of responses per respondent = 1

3. Total annual responses = 127

4. Hours per response = 160 (2 weeks x 2 people to review rule, tech specs, plant schedules and layout, and write report) (Based on discussion with NRC Region).

5. Total hours = 20,320

14. Reasons for Change in Burden.

The rule change adds a one-time information collection requirement.

15. Publication for Statistical Use.

This collection of information will not nave any results that

~

will be published for statistical use.

B. COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METH005 Statistical methods are not used in the collection of information.
