OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS Description of the Information Collection The Emergency Response Data System Requirements Analysis is an effort to identify the equipment required to establish an Emergency Response Data System.

This effort requires obtaining information on the design and operation of the electronic data systems used by power reactor licensees to monitor their facilities under normal and emergency situations.

A. JUSTIFICATION

1. Need for the Collection of Information. The mission of the NRC is to protect the health and safety of the public 's it relatcs to the operation of licensed nuclear power facilities. During a nuclear emergency, this includes assessing if appropriate protective actions are being taken. In order to fulfill this role, Commission has determined that the Emergency Response Data System is the appropriate means to meet the NRC's data needs. This system will consist of a direct electronic link to the licensee's emergency data computer and the automatic transmission of a limited set (45-70) of plant parame-ters. In order to enable us to design and estimate costs for a system capable of receiving data from the licensees emergency data systems, information is needed on the design of the systems used by the licensees. Specific features of interest are: parameters available on the system, where the parameters are measured, data handling methods, data communication methods, update frequencies, and verification and validation methods if any.

2. Agency Use of Information. The information on the design of the licensees data systems will be used by the Incident Response Branch, IE, to design an Emergency Response Data System that will interface with licensee's automated data systems and provide appropriate information to the NRC incident response organizations in a nuclear emergency.

3. Reduction of Burden Through Information Technology. There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this informa-tion collection; however, due to the limited subject of interest (emergency data computers) and the non-repeating nature of the request, the burden cannot be reduced below its current level. One result of the Emergency Response Data System implementation will be to reduce the burden on licensees of telephonic transmission of data to the NRC during an emergency. .

4. 6f fort to Identify Duplication. Minimal duplication is present in the NRC review program for licensee's Safety Parameter Display Systems. Under that program information is obtained on the data used and presentation method for the SPDS. Although the SPDS system is

one possible source of the data to be transmitted it may not be the most appropriate or advantageous source so that information on the other systems must still be obtained.

5. Effort to Use Similar Information. The information in the NRC SPOS program could be used as a portion of this effort; however, the SPOS program does not contain sufficient information on how the data is handled nor information on other data handling systems at the facilities.

6. Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden. Not Applicable. None of the power reactor licensees are classified as small businesses.

7. Consequence of Less Frequent Collection. Not Applicable. The information collection is one time only.

8. Circumstances which justify variation from OM8 guidelines.

Applicable. Not

9. Consultations Outside the NRC. The infonnation collection was tested on two licensees, Northeast Utilities and Commonwealth Edison, to determine the appropriateness of the collection method and obtain information on the industry burden. The burden associated with both of these efforts was within the ranges estimated.

10. Confidentiality of Information. NRC provides no pledge of confiden-tiality for this collection of information.

11.

Justification for Sensitive Questions. No sensitive information normally considered private is requested.

12.

Estimated Cost to the Federal Government. A contractor will perform the major part of the effort required for this information collec-tion. The cost of the contractors efforts will be approximately

$200,000.

The collection of information will also require approxi-mately 1000 NRC staff hours. (25 site trips x 40 hrs per trip).

Labor cost at $60 per staf f hour will be $60,000. Total cost to the Federal government will be approximately $260,000.

13. Estimate of Burden.

a.

The estimate of burden for this information collection ranges from 27 to 42 hours4.861111e-4 days <br />0.0117 hours <br />6.944444e-5 weeks <br />1.5981e-5 months <br /> per licensee depending on the number and complexity of the data handling systems. Details on the burden estimate are provided in Attachment A. Total estimated industry burden is 2080 hours0.0241 days <br />0.578 hours <br />0.00344 weeks <br />7.9144e-4 months <br />,

b. Estimated cost per respondent to respond to the collection ranges from $1,620 ($60/hr x 27 hrs) to $2,520 ($60/hr x 42 hrs). See Attachment A. Total estimated industry burden is

$124,800.

14. Reasons for Change in Burden. Not Applicable.

l 15. Publication for Statistical Use. The NRC has no plans to publish the information obtained in this effort.

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