PDR ORG pHU a
s OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION Description of the Information Collection The Emergency Response Data System implementation program will-affect the design and delivery of the NRC's Emergency Response Data System.
This effort i
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 as it relates 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, the 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 parameters to the NRC Operations Center in the event of an emergency at a licensed nuclear power plant.
The system will provide more timely and accurate data than is currently available to emergency response i
personnel via voice transmission.
In order to enable us to design and implement 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 communications 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, Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data, to design an Emergency Response Data System that will interface with licensees' 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 information 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.
Effort to Identify Duplication.
Minimal duplication is present in the NRC review program of licensees' Safety Parameter Display Systems (SPDS).
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.
__N
b 5.
Effort to Use Similar Information.
The information in the NRC SPDS program could be used as a portion of this effort; however, the SPDS I
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 OMB guidelines.
Not Applicable.
9.
Consultations Outside the NRC.
The information collection was tested on one licensee, Consumers Power, to determine the appropriateness of the collection method and obtain information on the industry burden.
The burden associated with this effort was within the range 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 collection.
The cost of the contractor's efforts will be approximately $100,000.
The collection of information will also require approximately 1800 NRC staff hours.
(112 site trips x 16 hrs per trip).
Labor cost at
$60 per staff hour will be $108,000.
Total cost to the Federal Government will be approximately $208,000.
Estimated annual cost is
$52,000, based on a four year implementation schedule.
13.
Estimate of Burden.
a.
The estimate of burden for this information collection ranges from 24 to 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-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 3584 hours0.0415 days <br />0.996 hours <br />0.00593 weeks <br />0.00136 months <br />.
Estimated annual burden is 896 hours0.0104 days <br />0.249 hours <br />0.00148 weeks <br />3.40928e-4 months <br /> based on a four year implementation schedule, I
b.
Estimated cost per respondent to respond to the collection ranges from $1,440 ($60/hr x 24 hrs) to $2,400 ($60/hr x 40 hrs).
See Attachment A.
Total estimated industry burden is $215,040.
Estimated annual burden is $53,760 based on a four year implementation schedule.
14.
Reasons for Change in Burden.
