Regulatory Analysis Page ii ABSTRACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is proposing to amend the requirements in Part 51 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, to include the results of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Generic Environmental Impact Statement (ANR GEIS). In September 2020, the Commission approved the development of a GEIS for the construction and operation of ANRs using a technology-neutral, plant parameter envelope (PPE) approach and directed staff to codify the GEISs findings in the Code of Federal Regulations. This document presents a draft regulatory analysis of the benefits and costs of the proposed rule requirements, the ANR GEIS, Regulatory Guide 4.2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations, and COL-ISG-030 Environmental Considerations for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Applications that Reference the Generic Environmental Impact Statement, relative to the baseline case (i.e., the No-Action alternative).

SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations that govern the NRCs National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews. The rulemaking would codify the generic findings of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Generic Environmental Impact Statement (ANR GEIS). The ANR GEIS would use a technology-neutral regulatory framework and performance-based assumptions to determine generic environmental impacts of new commercial advanced nuclear reactors. The ANR GEIS would streamline the NEPA reviews for future advanced reactor applicants. The proposed rule would codify these generic findings into the NRCs regulations in Part 51 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, thus making the NRCs licensing process more efficient. Specifically, these findings would be codified into Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51, which sets forth the NRCs regulations to implement its obligations under NEPA. Major provisions of this proposed rule and guidance would include:
- Addition of a new Appendix C to Subpart A of 10 CFR 51 to document the Commissions findings in the ANR GEIS.
- Changes to the regulations for the preparation of environmental reports for new reactors (e.g., 10 CFR 51.50) to provide the applicant with the option to use the ANR GEIS.
- Changes to the regulations for the preparation of environmental impact statements for new reactors (e.g., 10 CFR 51.75 and 10 CFR 51.96) to provide the NRC staff with the option to use the ANR GEIS.
- Draft revisions to Regulatory Guide (RG) 4.2 to provide guidance to applicants regarding the use of the ANR GEIS. In addition, the staff has prepared a draft interim staff guidance document, COL-ISG-030, to provide guidance to the staff regarding the use of the ANR GEIS.
This regulatory analysis discusses two alternatives - Alternative 1, the no-action or status quo alternative, and Alternative 2, pursuance of the proposed rule. For Alternative 2, the regulatory analysis evaluates the costs and benefits of the proposed rule requirements and development of the ANR GEIS and associated guidance documents. It derives the key findings summarized in Table ES-1Error! Reference source not found..

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is proposing to amend the requirements in Part 51 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions (10 CFR Part 51-TN250) to include the results of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Generic Environmental Impact Statement (ANR GEIS). The NRC is adding these new regulations to its existing environmental regulatory framework by incorporating the findings from NUREG-2249 (Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Advanced Nuclear Reactors [ANR GEIS]) through the rulemaking process. The ANR GEIS rule will define the number and scope of the environmental impact issues that must be addressed by the NRC during advanced reactor environmental reviews. As part of this rulemaking, the results of the ANR GEIS will be used to revise and update guidance to advanced nuclear reactor applicants in Regulatory Guide (RG) 4.2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 2018-TN6006).
Guidance is also being prepared to describe how NRC staff should review information submitted by an advanced nuclear reactor applicant in its Environmental Report and how to prepare the resulting environmental impact statement (EIS). This guidance will be documented in COL-ISG-030, Environmental Considerations for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Applications that Reference the Generic Environmental Impact Statement, and formalized into more durable guidance in NUREG-1555, Standard Review Plans for Environmental Reviews for Nuclear Power Plants as part of the greater 10 CFR Part 51 rulemaking, which will occur at a later date.
This document presents the regulatory analysis of the NRCs proposed new environmental protection regulations from the ANR GEIS as they relate to the issuance of early site permits (ESP), construction permits, operating license (OL), and combined licenses (COL) for advanced reactors. These new regulations will be presented in Table C-1, Summary of Findings on NEPA Issues for Advanced Nuclear Power Plants, in Appendix C to Subpart A, Environmental Effect of Issuing a License or Permit for an Advanced Nuclear Power Plant, of 10 CFR Part 51.
(Hereafter, this table is referred to as Table C-1 in this document.) This regulatory analysis includes the development of the rulemaking package, including the guidance to applicants and staff described above.
This introduction is divided into three sections. Section 1.1 states the problem and the objective of the rulemaking, Section 1.2 provides background information about the pertinent regulatory requirements in 10 CFR Part 51, and Section 1.3 describes the methodology used in the ANR GEIS.
1.1 Statement of the Problem and Objective of the Rulemaking In recent years, interest in developing and licensing ANRs in the United States using new technologies has increased. The increased interest is demonstrated by the recently enacted Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-248; TN6468) and Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act of 2019 (NEIMA, Public Law 115-439; TN6469). One purpose of NEIMA is to provide a program for developing the expertise and regulatory processes necessary to allow innovation and commercialization of advanced nuclear reactors.
Under the NRCs environmental protection regulations in 10 CFR Part 51, which implement Section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 et seq.; TN661), licensing of an advanced nuclear power plant requires the preparation of an EIS. On September 21, 2020, the Commission issued Staff Requirements Memorandum
Regulatory Analysis Page 1-2 (SRM)-20-0020 (NRC 2020-TN6492), which directed staff to develop a GEIS for the construction and operation of ANRs using a technology-neutral, plant parameter envelope (PPE) approach and codify the GEISs findings in the Code of Federal Regulations. In November 2020, the staff committed to a schedule for development of the ANR GEIS and for major rulemaking activities and milestones. The purpose of the ANR GEIS, upon which the rulemaking is based, is to present impact analyses for environmental issues common to many or most advanced reactors that can be addressed generically, thereby eliminating the need to repeatedly reproduce the same analyses each time a licensing application is submitted and allowing applicants and NRC staff to focus future environmental review efforts on issues that can only be resolved once a site is identified. These generic impact analyses are documented and described in the ANR GEIS. The ANR GEIS is intended to improve the efficiency of licensing advanced reactors by (1) identifying the types of environmental impacts that may occur from constructing, operating and decommissioning an advanced reactor, (2) assessing impacts that are expected to be generic (the same or similar) for many or most advanced reactors, and (3) defining the environmental issues that will need to be addressed in project-specific supplemental EISs addressing specific projects.
The objective of the rulemaking is to codify the environmental findings from the GEIS in Table C-1 and amend the regulations in 10 CFR Part 51 for advanced reactor construction and operation, based on the technical findings in the ANR GEIS.
1.2 Background
On June 25, 2019, Senators Barrasso and Braun, from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works, sent a letter to NRC Chairman Svinicki requesting that the NRC initiate a process to develop a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for the construction and operation of advanced reactors (Barrasso and Braun 2019-TN6465). On July 29, 2019, Chairman Svinicki responded that staff would prepare for the environmental review of applications for advanced reactors by conducting an exploratory process to determine whether the development of a GEIS for advanced reactors would provide an adequate environmental review and yield sufficient benefit to support taking this approach(NRC 2019-TN6467). Upon review, the staff determined that using a GEIS could accelerate and streamline the environmental review process of advanced reactors and began to plan the timing and approach of the exploratory analysis required by the Commission.
On November 15, 2019, the NRC staff issued a Federal Register notice (84 FR 62559-TN6470) announcing an exploratory process and soliciting comments to determine the possible utility of developing a GEIS for licensing ANRs. The exploratory process included two public meetings, a comprehensive public workshop attended by multiple stakeholders, and a site visit to the Idaho National Laboratory, one location that is being contemplated for some ANRs. As part of the exploratory process, the staff considered its experience with previous NRC GEIS documents that support power reactor license renewals, in situ uranium recovery facilities, and decommissioning. The staff gathered information to determine whether a GEIS for construction and operation of ANRs might be viable.
On February 28, 2020, the staff issued SECY-20-0020 (NRC 2020-TN6493) detailing the results of the exploratory process whereby the staff determined that development of a GEIS for advanced reactors would be beneficial because it would generically resolve many environmental issues, saving resources and providing predictability for potential applicants. On April 30, 2020, the NRC issued a Federal Register notice (85 FR 24040-TN6458) informing the public of its intent to develop an advanced reactor GEIS and to conduct a scoping process to
Regulatory Analysis Page 1-3 gather information necessary to prepare an advanced reactor GEIS for ANRs. The NRC held a webinar on May 28, 2020, to receive comments from the public about the scope of the GEIS (NRC 2020-TN6459). Based on comments received during the scoping period, the staff determined that using a technology-neutral, performance-based approach to develop the ANR GEIS that is inclusive of as many advanced reactor technologies as possible and would, where possible, decouple resource areas from reactor power level.
In response to the staffs exploratory and scoping process, and as described in Section 1.1 above, the Commission issued SRM-20-0020 (NRC 2020-TN6492) dated September 21, 2020, which approved the development of a GEIS for the construction and operation of ANRs using a technology-neutral, PPE approach and directed staff to codify the GEISs findings in the Code of Federal Regulations.
1.3 ANR GEIS Methodology In preparing the ANR GEIS, the staff determined that certain environmental impacts associated with licensing an advanced nuclear power plant were the same or similar for all commercial nuclear power plants and as such, could be treated generically. In this way, repetitive reviews of these environmental impacts could be avoided.
Because neither the advanced reactor technology nor the site is known, the NRC staff performed its generic analyses based on a hypothetical reactor meeting a series of performance-based assumptions termed the PPE and situated on a hypothetical site meeting a series of performance-based assumptions termed the site parameter envelope (SPE) (NRIC 2021-TN6940).
The analysis began by identifying specific types of impacts relevant to each of the 16 environmental resource areas identified by the NRC staff. Each type of impact is termed an issue. Each issue corresponds to a type of environmental impact that could potentially result from ANR construction, operation, or decommissioning. The analysis identifies 121 specific issues. Each issue is analyzed to determine whether it is possible to identify values and assumptions in the PPE and SPE that could effectively bound a meaningful generic analysis.
These issues were then assigned a significance level. The significance levels follow the definitions presented in the footnotes in Table B-1 in Appendix B of Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51 (TN250). They are the same environmental significance levels and definitions used in the License Renewal GEIS (NRC 2013-TN2654) and in recent EISs prepared by the NRC staff for COLs and ESPs for new light-water reactors (LWRs). However, the ANR GEIS categorizes resource area issues into categories in a manner that is different from previous GEIS documents developed and used by the NRC.
For the ANR GEIS, the values and assumptions were set such that the subject matter experts (SMEs) could reach a generic conclusion of SMALL adverse impacts, which are designated as Category 1 issues (i.e., issues for which a generic analysis was possible). Issues for which the impacts are beneficial are also designated as Category 1.
After considering potential values and assumptions for the PPE and SPE for some environmental impact issues, the staff could not reach a generic conclusion. In some cases, this was due to requirements of other statutes, such as the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. §§ 300101 et seq.; TN4157) and the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 1531 et seq.; TN1010). In other cases, the wide range of potential reactor designs and potential site locations made it impossible for the staff to reach a generic conclusion in the ANR GEIS. These
Regulatory Analysis Page 1-4 issues are designated as Category 2 issues, which would require a project-specific analysis in an NRC EIS. In addition, there are two issues for which the state of the science is currently inadequate, and no generic conclusion on impacts is possible. These are designated as N/A (i.e., impacts are uncertain), which are nether Category 1 nor 2.
An applicant addressing a Category 1 issue in its Environmental Report (ER) may refer to the generic analysis in the ANR GEIS for that issue without further analysis, provided that it demonstrates that the relevant values and assumptions of the PPE and SPE used in the resource analysis are met or bounded and there is no new and significant information that would require project-specific analysis1. The applicant will have to document how the values and assumptions are met in the application package. The extent of the information necessary to demonstrate that a value or assumption is met will vary. In some cases, the demonstration may only require showing that the project design or site is bounded by a parameter value or assumption (e.g., building height). But in other cases, analysis may be required to demonstrate that a value or assumption has been met (e.g., noise levels).
If the relevant values and assumptions for a Category 1 issue are not met, the applicant would have to supply the requisite information necessary for the staff to perform a project-specific analysis. One source of guidance for applicants providing information to the staff in an ER is the latest version of RG 4.2 (NRC 2018-TN6006). The applicant may, however, be able to incorporate by reference all or part of the generic analysis provided in the ANR GEIS and focus on providing the additional project-specific information needed. Applicants addressing Category 2 issues in an ER would have to provide all the information typically needed by the staff to perform a project-specific analysis and may rely on guidance available in RG 4.2. The staff expects that applicants would rely on the generic conclusions for Category 1 issues to the extent that the conclusions can be technically supported. A variety of potential scenarios were evaluated based on combinations of resource areas for which the Category 1 issues might apply/not apply based on the type of site and design that is selected. These scenarios are presented in Section 4.3.
After accepting the license application and ER, the NRC prepares a Supplemental EIS (SEIS) to the ANR GEIS that evaluates the environmental impact of project-specific (Category 2) issues and considers any new and significant information for Category 1 and/or any other newly identified issues. The draft SEIS is made available for public comment. After considering public comments, the NRC prepares and issues a final SEIS in accordance with 10 CFR 51.91, Final environmental impact statementcontents, and 51.93, Distribution of final environmental impact statement and supplement to final environmental impact statement; news releases (10 CFR Part 51-TN250). Together, the final SEIS and the GEIS serve as the requisite NEPA analysis for the advanced nuclear reactor license environmental reviews.
When addressing Category 1 issues in SEISs, the NRC staff may likewise refer to the generic analysis in the ANR GEIS for a given issue without further analysis, provided that the relevant values and assumptions in the PPE and SPE are met and there is no new and significant information that changes the conclusions in the GEIS. Staff may also have to briefly document how the values and assumptions are met. If the relevant values and assumptions are not met, staff would have to complete a project-specific analysis in accordance with the latest version of the Environmental Standard Review Plan or related guidance (such as any relevant interim staff guidance). Staff may however be able to streamline the effort by incorporating all or a portion of 1 As used in this document, when the staff states that the project meets a value or assumption of the PPE or SPE, it should be read as to mean that the project meets or is bounded by the value or assumption.
Regulatory Analysis Page 1-5 the generic analysis in the ANR GEIS and expanding it to account for project-specific information.
Regulatory Analysis Page 2-1 2.0 IDENTIFICATION AND PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES The analysis considers two alternatives. The following sections describe each alternative.
2.1 Alternative 1: No-Action Under Alternative 1, the No-Action alternative, the NRC would not issue an ANR GEIS and codify its results in 10 CFR Part 51 (TN250). The NRC would evaluate all environmental impacts in a project-specific EIS. Applicants for an advanced reactor license would continue to comply with the existing provisions of 10 CFR Part 51 and submit ERs that evaluated all environmental impacts on a case-by-case basis.
2.2 Alternative 2: Issue ANR GEIS and Codify Findings in 10 CFR Part 51 Under Alternative 2, the NRC would issue the ANR GEIS and would amend certain provisions of 10 CFR Part 51 related to the environmental review for advanced nuclear power plant licenses and add Table C-1. The NRC would also issue two revised guidance documents on applying the ANR GEIS findings for both applicants and the NRC staff, as discussed in Section 1.0 above.
This ability to rely on these generically determined Category 1 issues will result in a time and cost savings for both the applicant and the NRC as the EIS for an application is developed. An evaluation of the estimated benefit of reliance on Category 1 issues in the GEIS is discussed in Section 3.0.
Table C-1 of Appendix C to Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51 summarizes the findings of the ANR GEIS, for which 121 environmental issues were analyzed. The table identifies issues as Category 1, Category 2, or Uncategorized issues, and, as identified in the Category column, most of the issues were found to be Category 1 issues. This means they are issues for which a generic analysis of environmental impacts is possible, provided that relevant values and assumptions in the PPE and SPE are met. The table also identifies mitigation measures and parameters and values that apply to each issue.
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-1 3.0 EVALUATION OF BENEFITS AND COSTS This section describes the analysis conducted to identify and evaluate the benefits and costs expected from utilization of the results of the ANR GEIS, which will be codified in the final revisions of Appendix C to Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51 (TN250). Section 3.1 identifies the attributes that Alternative 2 is expected to affect. Section 3.2 describes the methodology used to analyze the benefits and costs associated with expected changes to the affected attributes.
Section 3.3 analyzes the implementation of Alternative 2, which will involve implementation and operational costs for industry and the NRC.
3.1 Attributes Affected by the Rulemaking This section identifies the factors within the public and private sectors that the rulemaking is expected to affect. These factors are classified as attributes using the list of potential attributes provided in Chapter 5 of the NRCs Regulatory Analysis Technical Evaluation Handbook (NRC 2020-TN6806). Affected attributes include the following:
- Industry Implementation. Industry applicants will incur costs associated with reviewing the proposed rule and implementing the final rule. Potential applicants will review and likely develop comments to submit as part of the rulemaking process. This requires staff time and resources for reading, assessing, and developing comments. In addition, potential applicants will incur costs as they evaluate how to implement the GEIS in generating an ANR application using the provisions of the proposed rule and the eventual final rule. Such internal procedures include prescribing how determinations for Category 1 versus Category 2 designations will be made and how the assessment process will be documented in the application.
- Industry Operation. As a result of the generic analysis of environmental issues, applicants will recognize a savings to prepare the ER by relying on the analysis in the GEIS for Category 1 issues and the ability to incorporate by reference the findings in the ANR GEIS, rather than analyzing the impacts in their ER. Applicants will incur costs for Category 1 issues associated with demonstrating their project is bounded by the analysis in the GEIS.
However, these costs are assumed to be required as part of the characterization of the affected environment under existing NEPA guidance and approaches for COL and ESP reviews. No incremental costs would be incurred by addressing Category 2 issues in project-specific analyses and presenting the information in the ER because these costs would be incurred if an applicant submitted an ER with or without relying on the GEIS.
- NRC Implementation. The NRC will incur costs related to implementing the provisions of the proposed rule. Some of these costs have already occurred and do not factor into this regulatory analysis. Future costs of implementation include completion and publication of the Draft ANR GEIS, resolving public comments on the GEIS, completion and publication of this regulatory analysis and the rulemaking package for public review and review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of the Federal Register (OFR),
including the processing of formal review comments. Future implementation costs also include those associated with completion and publication of the final rule and supporting documents.
- NRC Operations. Similar to the industry operation, the NRC will recognize cost savings by relying on the generic analysis of Category 1 issues. As part of the characterization of the affected environment, the NRC will need to verify that the project is bounded by the ANR GEIS. Category 2 issues will need to be analyzed in the SEIS. However, the project-
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-2 specific analysis of Category 1 issues for the SEIS referencing the GEIS will cost less than the analysis for an EIS that does not reference the GEIS.
- Improvements in Process. Category 1 and 2 issues have been added to Table C-1 of 10 CFR Part 51, which will improve the quality of the information provided to the NRC by focusing on issues most relevant to specific applications and facilitate advanced reactor environmental reviews. This information is necessary for the NRC to ensure compliance with Federal environmental statutes and regulations and to evaluate the potential environmental effects of continued nuclear power plant operations. Additionally, the applicants research for new and significant information pertaining to Category 1 issues will improve the knowledge base for these issues.
- Improvements in Efficiency for the Applicant and Improvements in Efficiency for the NRC.
The ANR GEIS and the issues and findings in Table C-1 will improve the efficiency of the environmental review. Improving the clarity and efficiency of the regulatory provisions reduces the cost to industry to prepare environmental reports for advanced reactor applications and permits the NRC to focus resources on project-specific issues of importance (i.e., project-specific analyses), which also reduces the cost to the NRC.
3.2 Analytical Methodology This section describes the methodology used to analyze the incremental benefits and costs associated with Alternative 2. The benefits of Alternative 2 include any desirable changes in affected attributes (e.g., savings) while the costs include any adverse changes in affected attributes (e.g., costs).
The analysis evaluates the following attributes affected by Alternative 2 on a quantitative basis:
- industry implementation
- industry operation
- NRC implementation
- NRC operation.
The analysis evaluates improvements in process affected by Alternative 2 on a qualitative basis due to the difficulty and uncertainty involved in quantifying the benefits and impacts to this attribute.
3.2.1 Baseline for the Analysis The analysis measures the incremental impacts of Alternative 2 relative to a baseline (Alternative 1, the No-Action alternative).
3.2.2 Affected Applicants Advanced reactor applicants for an NRC license can refer to Table C-1 in 10 CFR Part 51 and the GEIS to streamline the preparation of their ER. The NRC estimates that approximately eight advanced reactor applications will be received over the 10-year period before the ANR GEIS will be updated. This estimate is based on letters of intent received from potential applicants; the NRC anticipates receiving one application per year in 8 years of the 10-year period from 2024 to 2034. Consideration of the potential ANR applications under the proposed rule is discussed in Sections 3.3.2 and 3.3.4.
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-3 The analysis period for this regulatory analysis covers that period between 2024 and 2034 for the benefits and the costs of implementation. Thus the costs and benefits are analyzed for that period based on the guidance provided in NUREG-0058 (NRC 2020-TN6806). Results are presented in undiscounted terms and using financial discounting with discount rates of 3 and 7 percent to reflect the time value of money. All dollar amounts are presented in 2021 constant dollars.
3.3 Analysis of Alternative 2 Implementation The NRC evaluated each provision contained in Alternative 2 relative to the applicable baseline (Alternative 1, the No-Action alternative). Based on this analysis, the NRC developed equations to estimate the benefits and costs using available data, augmented by assumptions when necessary, and guidance contained in NUREG-0058 (NRC 2020-TN6806).
The NRC labor rate is the weighted average of the General Assumptions NRC staff labor rate and the NRC contractor labor rate. NRC contractors may perform a significant

For net present value rates was estimated based on the relative number of calculations, the analysis hours per most typical review experience. This rate discounts to the first year of equates to $168 per hour and represents the NRC incurred costs or savings (i.e.,
average labor rate used in the analysis. 2022).
The industry rate was estimated to be the average between the NRC staff rate and the NRC contractor rate.
The following sections address the implementation and operational costs to industry and the NRC associated with issuing the ANR GEIS and codifying findings in 10 CFR Part 51 to accelerate and streamline the process of conducting environmental reviews related to the licensing of advanced reactors.
3.3.1 Industry Implementation Under Alternative 2, industry applicants would be expected to review and comment on the proposed rule and take actions to implement the provisions of the rule for environmental reviews triggered by the expected applications under this rule. The NRC staff assumed that these implementation activities would apply to the eight applicants expected to submit applications under this rule during the 2024-2034 period. Further, the staff assumed each applicant would devote $50,000 to these preparatory activities, allocated somewhat evenly between rule reviewing and commenting on the proposed rule and implementing the provisions of the eventual final rule. The annual costs are summarized in Table 3.1. As shown in the table, it is
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-4 assumed that preparatory activities for the eight applications are split evenly between 2022 and 2023.

The analysis specifies each issue that is evaluated quantitatively. For each Table C-1 issue, the regulatory analysis lists the assumption(s) and equation(s) used to estimate the benefits and/or costs to industry.
General assumptions are listed below (each Table C-1 benefit and cost described below applies to all applicants except where noted):
- Any applicant submitting an advanced reactor application in the period of the proposed rule will incur the operations costs or recognize the operations savings in the same year as the application submittal.
- Applicant labor savings are assumed to scale based on the recent COL and ESP review experience of NRC staff and contractors, and equate to 1.75 times the labor hours required by NRC contractor staff who are reviewing and confirming the original analysis done by the applicant. The 1.75 factor is assumed to represent the additional effort on the part of the applicant to prepare the application from scratch. This factor is assumed to apply regardless of the complexity of the ANR application.
- Savings enabled by the proposed rule occur when a generic impact analysis is determined to be an adequate analysis approach compared to standard impact analysis practices that are required by current guidance for new reactor reviews. The reduced labor effort required with generic analysis compared to previous (baseline) approaches is the savings.
- Savings estimates are analyzed for environmental reviews that would be considering ANR applications focused on facilities incorporating designs where multiple nuclear units would be installed in a single facility. These types of facilities most closely align with the previous review experience of the NRC and reflect the most recent ANR review experience associated with the Clinch River ESP review. Thus, the savings reported for the most likely
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-5 review experience are likely to be upper bound estimates for the potential range of applications that may be expected.
- Many potential ANR applications may use innovative technology, a smaller reactor size, or a single small unit. In these cases, several environmental resources may not be affected, and the resulting savings would not be realized, because unaffected resources would not be part of the savings baseline.
- A Category 1 issue is assumed to be analyzed based on the generic analysis provided in the ANR GEIS and would not require analytical effort apart from making the determination that generic analysis applies. It is assumed that applicant will assess new and significant information for the determination of Category 1 applicability as part of the typical characterization of the affected environment in the ER; therefore, no additional costs are incurred to make this determination.
- A Category 2 issue is assumed to require a level of effort similar to that required without a GEIS, and thus, would not result in savings or added costs for applicant staff.
Table 3.2 presents the issue-by-issue cost savings impact attributable to the rule, which are enabled by using the ANR GEIS to provide the generic impact conclusions for the Category 1 issues, thereby avoiding the cost to industry of in-depth assessment for those issues. Table A-1 in Appendix A provides the detailed financial results that feed into this summary.

Regulatory Analysis Page 3-14 3.3.3 NRC Implementation The NRC will incur costs to develop the ANR GEIS and all associated regulatory guidance to staff and applicants. The NRC recorded actual and planned costs required to bring the proposed rule to fruition, including the cost of the following:
- Generation of the draft Proposed Rule Package (ANR GEIS, Federal Register Notice [FRN],
Regulatory Analysis, OMB Statement, revision of RG 4.2, and creation of COL-ISG-030 Environmental Considerations for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Applications that Reference the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (NUREG-2249)). These costs have already occurred and are not considered in the regulatory analysis. Only future or remaining implementation costs are considered in this analysis.
- Submittal of the draft Proposed Rule Package to the Commission. Public comment period.
- Generation of the Final Rule Package (ANR GEIS, FRN, Regulatory Analysis, OMB Statement, revision of RG 4.2, new COL-ISG-030) and its submittal to the Commission.
- Processing and addressing OMB and OFR formal review comments.

The Alternative 2 analysis included each environmental issue presented in Table C-1 of Appendix C to Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51. For each of these environmental issues, the
Regulatory Analysis Page 3-15 analysis lists the assumption(s) and equation(s) used to estimate the value (benefit/saving) and/or impact (cost) to the NRC. Each of these issues was evaluated quantitatively and results are presented in Table 3.4 below. General assumptions are as follows:
- The NRC will recognize the savings resulting from the proposed rule changes in the 24 months after the NRC receives each application. The NRC is assumed to recognize approximately half of the savings in the same year as the application submittal and the other half in the year following the application submittal.
- Each cost and saving assumption associated with the proposed rule changes is based on extensive NRC staff experience in the review of COL and ESP applications.
- Savings estimates are analyzed for environmental reviews that would be considering ANR applications focused on facilities incorporating designs where multiple nuclear units would be installed in a single facility. Thus, the savings reported are upper bound estimates. For many potential ANR applications, the reactor size may be somewhat smaller or may use only a single small unit. In these cases, several environmental resources may not be affected, and the resulting savings would not be realized, because unaffected resources would not be part of the savings baseline.
- A Category 1 issue is assumed to be analyzed based on the generic analysis provided in the ANR GEIS and would not require analytical effort apart from making the determination that generic analysis applies. It is assumed that NRC staff will assess new and significant information for the determination of Category 1 applicability as part of the typical characterization of the affected environment of the EIS.
- A typical Category 2 issue is assumed to require a level of effort similar to the level of effort required without the GEIS, and thus, would not result in savings or added costs for applicant staff.
Table 3.4 presents the issue-by-issue cost savings impact attributable to the rule, which are enabled by using the ANR GEIS to provide the generic impact conclusions for the Category 1 issues, thereby avoiding the cost to the NRC of in-depth review for those issues. Table A-1 in Appendix AA provides the detailed financial results that feed into this summary.

Regulatory Analysis Page 4-1 4.0 RESULTS This section presents the analytical results and is organized into three sections. Section 4.1 presents findings related to the benefits and costs of the regulatory analysis. Section 4.2 discusses the backfit analysis, and Section 4.3 discusses disaggregation of the analytical results.
4.1 Benefits and Costs 4.1.1 Quantitative Results For Alternative 2, four attributes have been analyzed quantitatively (Industry Implementation, Industry Operations, NRC Implementation, and NRC Operations). The net benefits and costs calculated for Alternatives 1 and 2 are presented below. Relative to the Alternative 1 (No-Action alternative), Alternative 2 would result in estimated net one-time quantitative benefits:
- Industry benefits of $5.0 million net present value, assuming a 7-percent discount rate, or
$6.8 million assuming a 3-percent discount rate.
- Industry costs of ($0.4 million) net present value, assuming a 7-percent discount rate, or
($0.4 million) assuming a 3-percent discount rate. Costs are discussed in Section 3.3.1.
- NRC benefits of $4.8 million net present value, assuming a 7-percent discount rate, or
$6.6 million assuming a 3-percent discount rate.
- NRC costs of ($2.1 million) net present value, assuming a 7-percent discount rate, or
($2.2 million) assuming a 3-percent discount rate. Costs are discussed in Section 3.3.3.
Table 4.31 presents the quantitative results for Alternative 2 using a 7-percent discount rate and a 3-percent discount rate, respectively. Several cases were developed to reflect situations where only some Category 1 issues would be identified and used as part of an application.
Section 4.3.1 provides a detailed discussion of the 50 percent case and the 75 percent case, which are presented as sensitivity cases in Error! Reference source not found. in Section 4.3.3.

In addition, one aspect of the Industry Implementation and NRC Implementation attributes pertaining to issues associated with
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-2 transmission line rights-of-way (ROWs) also was evaluated on a qualitative basis. Table 4.2 presents a summary of both the qualitative and quantitative benefits and costs for Alternative 2.

Net Monetary Benefits or Costs Savings per Application Dollars Dollars Average Hours (7% Discount Rate) (3% Discount Rate)

Benefit: The identification of Category 1 issues will improve the efficiency of licensing ANRs Improvements in by (1) identifying the possible types of environmental impacts of constructing, Process operating and decommissioning an ANR, (2) assessing impacts that are expected to be generic (the same or similar) for many or most ANRs, and (3) defining the environmental issues that will need to be addressed in project-specific Supplemental EISs (SEISs) addressing specific projects.
Costs: Savings are dependent on the number of applicants, the timing of their submissions, and the applicability of the ANR GEIS for their proposed sites. If there are fewer applicants or if the GEIS is not as useful as modeled, then net costs would increase.
4.2 Disaggregation To comply with guidance provided in Section 4.3.2 (Criteria for the Treatment of Individual Requirements) of the Regulatory Analysis Guidelines (NRC 2020-TN6806), the NRC conducted a screening review to ensure that the aggregate analysis did not mask the inclusion of individual rule provisions that would not be cost-beneficial when considered individually and are not necessary to meet the goals of the rule revisions.
Consistent with the Regulatory Analysis Guidelines, the NRC evaluated, on a disaggregated basis, each new regulatory provision expected to result in an incremental cost. Appendix A of this regulatory analysis presents savings estimated to result from each issue addressed by the proposed rule. Each change is necessary to comply with Federal environmental regulations and is not considered a voluntary alternative. Operation costs for industry and the NRC are not issue-specific and will apply regardless of the issues considered.
4.3 Uncertainty Analysis To determine the robustness of the costs and net benefits of the proposed rule, the NRC examined how anticipated savings change due to uncertainties associated with the NRCs analytical assumptions and input data. As mentioned in Section 3.1, the NRC used Monte Carlo simulation to examine the impact of uncertainty on the estimated net benefits of the proposed rule. These Monte Carlo simulations were performed using Visual Basic for Applications within Microsoft Excel.
Monte Carlo simulations involve introducing uncertainty into the analysis by replacing the point estimates of the variables used to estimate costs and benefits with probability distributions. By
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-3 defining input variables as probability distributions as opposed to point estimates, the effect of uncertainty on the results of the analysis (i.e., the net benefits) can be effectively modeled.
The Monte Carlo simulations were performed by repeatedly running the analysis, up to 10,000 times. For each iteration of the analysis, a value was chosen randomly from the probability distributions that define the input variables. The value of the output variable (the net benefits) was recorded for each iteration, and all of the resulting values for the output variable were used to define a distribution for the results.
4.3.1 Uncertainty Model Inputs In this analysis, the NRC assigned probability distributions to uncertain variables including the number of Category 1 issues that might be triggered by an ANR application, the relative complexity of any one application, and the mix of applications expected during the analysis period, and the NRC assigned triangular probability distributions to these inputs.
As an example of the variables and distributions used in the Monte Carlo simulations, a variety of potential scenarios were evaluated based on combinations of resource areas for which the Category 1 issues might apply/not apply based on the type of site and design that is selected.
These combinations reflect the input of NRC SMEs about the potential mix of issues that may apply to applications expected during the analysis period of the proposed rule, and included the following potential application cases:
- Case 1: All Category 1 issues applicable
- Case 2: Brownfield site without terrestrial ecology concerns nor transmission lines
- Case 3: Brownfield site without groundwater use, transmission lines, or terrestrial ecology resources
- Case 4: Small brownfield site without water use
- Case 5: Small brownfield site without ecological concerns, transmission lines, or surface water use
- Case 6: Large greenfield site with transmission lines
- Case 7: Greenfield site without groundwater resources
- Case 8: Greenfield site with no water use, aquatic ecology resources, or transmission lines
- Case 9: Greenfield site with no surface water or aquatic ecology resources, with transmission lines.
For each of these cases, the NRC determined which set of Category 1 issues likely would apply and estimated the net savings that would be attributable for each case. The number of applicable Category 1 issues for any review is linked to the SME-determined effort per issue used to derive the per issue savings from conducting generic analysis. Also, NRC modeled the effort of the least complex review scenario in addition to the most typical review experience.
The sensitivity of the results to variations in the scope of the ER are presented in Table 4.3. In the case of lower review complexity, many Category 1 issues may not be of any concern or the affected resource areas may not be present at the anticipated application site. In these cases, no savings would result if the Category 1 issue identified in the ANR GEIS is not present for a given application. Thus, Table 4.3 presents what reduced savings would be available in such cases.
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-4 Table 4.3 Relative Expected Effort of Alternative NRC ANR NEPA Review Cases Case Case Case Case Case Case Case Case Case Metric 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Category 1 issues in play 100 80 73 51 59 100 93 66 78 Most typical review effort Fraction of most typical effort 100% 89% 78% 48% 60% 100% 89% 58% 71%
Least complex review effort Fraction of most typical effort 67% 62% 55% 41% 48% 67% 60% 45% 53%
These results suggest that for the most typical review approximately 50%, 75%, or 100% of the Category 1 issues would be used. As a result, these percentages of Category 1 resource utilization were used to understand how cost might reasonably vary based on the utilization of Category 1 issues in the applications that are received. The NRC acknowledges that some anticipated applications may be for relatively small projects, compared to the COL and ESP projects upon which these estimates are based. The least complex review effort may be more indicative of the expected effort for such applications. However, the NRC assumes that the most typical application will be for larger projects, similar to the Clinch River ESP application, in which an ANR array design was proposed as part of a relatively large facility and site development involving all or most Category 1 issues.
Table 4.4 provides the parameters used in the uncertainty analysis. These parameters were assigned probability distributions and used values selected from that distribution with each iteration of the Monte Carlo simulation. For each variable in Table 4.4, the characteristics of the distribution used in the simulation are provided. Review complexity was derived by collecting data about recent NRC environmental reviews of new reactor applications, including an ESP application for an ANR facility at the Clinch River site in Tennessee, in addition to two large LWR applications. NRC environmental reviews range in complexity based on several factors that vary from site to site and application to application. Experienced environmental SMEs were asked to indicate which reviews reflected the most typical, least complex, and most complex for their specific resource area (ecology, human health, socioeconomics, water resources, etc.).
The Category 1 issues analyzed in this proposed rule are each assigned to a specific resource area for impact analysis for each application (COL, ESP licensing actions). For each Category 1 issue, the relevant SME made a determination of which application represented the most typical review experience, the least complex, and the most complex for their resource area. This information was used to allocate NRC cost data for each issue for each classification (least complex, most typical, most complex). Scalars were calculated representing the relative effort for any single Category 1 issue between least complex and most typical and between most complex and most typical. These values are reflected in Table 4.4.
The information presented in Table 4.3 above provides the basis for varying the number of Category 1 issues for any single application. The parameters of this distribution are shown in Table 4.4 and vary from 50 to 100 issues. This variable can be influenced by or be a function of review complexity but has a distinct influence on the potential savings. This is because it is quite possible to have relatively few Category 1 issues at play in a specific application review, but some of the issues may be relatively complex. Thus, this variable also was modeled in the Monte Carlo analysis.
Finally, the mix of reviews undertaken during the analysis period of the proposed rule also is subject to some level of uncertainty. This is reflected in the total number of Category 1 issues that would arise from the eight applications expected in the 2024-2034 period. If each
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-5 application used the GEIS analysis for all 100 Category 1 issues, then 800 such issues would be triggered in the 2024-2034 period and savings would be maximized. However, as few as 400 issues may be triggered based on the information derived from Table 4.3 above. The Monte Carlo analysis models this uncertainty using the parameters shown in Table 4.4.

By allowing uncertain assumptions and inputs to range across a distribution the results are no longer static and instead spread across a range with varying degrees of certainty.
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-6 Figure 4.1 Relative Frequency of the Undiscounted Net Benefits of the Proposed Rule (2021 Dollars)
Similarly, the net benefits with 7 percent and 3 percent discounting can be seen in Figure 4.2.
NOTE: As the discount rate increases in the above exhibit, the distributions become narrower. This narrowing is a result of the decreasing value of net benefits in future years as discount rates increase. Larger discount rates result in smaller cost and benefit values in future years in the analysis period, resulting in a smaller range and a narrower distribution.
Figure 4.2 Relative Frequency of the Net Benefits of the Proposed Rule at 7 Percent and 3 Percent Discounting (2021 Dollars)
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-7 Examining the range of the resulting distributions of net benefits, it is possible to more confidently discuss the potential costs and benefits of the proposed rule. Table 4.5 displays a 90 percent confidence interval, meaning that the net benefits will fall between the ranges indicated for 90 percent of all the iterations run as part of the Monte Carlo simulations. In all cases, regardless of the discount rate used, the benefits of the proposed rule (in terms of averted costs) will outweigh the implementation costs of the proposed rule that will be incurred by industry applicants and the NRC. This result is demonstrated by the fact that the resulting distributions of net benefits, whether undiscounted or at 3 or 7 percent discount rates, are always greater than zero.
Table 4.5 Confidence Intervals for Alternative 2 Benefits and Costs of the Proposed Rule at 7 Percent and 3 Percent Discounting (in 2021 Dollars) 90-Percent Confidence Intervals Metric 7% NPV 3% NPV Total Benefits $9,463,635 $10,131,275 $12,948,785 $13,855,533 Total Costs ($2,599,129) ($2,269,409) ($2,762,529) ($2,412,081)
Net Benefits $6,864,506 $7,861,866 $10,186,256 $11,443,452 4.3.3 Sensitivity Analysis In addition to estimating the probability distributions for the net benefits of the proposed rule, Monte Carlo simulation was used to conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine the variables that have greatest impact on the resulting net benefits. Variables shown to have a large effect on the resulting net benefits may deserve more attention and scrutiny than variables shown to have a small or minimal effect.
To estimate the effect of each variable on the net benefits, key inputs were adjusted by applying the endpoints of the modeled distributions in each case, in isolation from any other changes, to observe the individual impact of the change on the benefits of the rule. The results are compiled into a tornado diagram, which presents in vertical order the variables that have the greatest influence on net benefits. Figure 4.3 presents the tornado diagram for the net benefits of the proposed rule. The costs of the rule are not subject to variability other than the effect of financial discounting, because some costs have already been incurred and are not included in the analysis, and the balance of rule-related costs are subject to budget constraints or contracts already in place, which remove much of the uncertainty.
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-8 Note: Bars indicated with an asterisk (*) denote that the results are discounted using the 7-percent discount rate.
Figure 4.3 Tornado Diagram for the Net Benefits of the Proposed Rule (2021 Dollars)
The horizontal axis in Figure 4.3 is displayed as the net effect on the net benefits of the rule from an adjustment of the key inputs to the benefits estimation based on the endpoints of each distribution used in the Monte Carlo analysis.
Examining the tornado diagrams provides insight into which of the key variables have the largest impacts on the results of this analysis. From Figure 4.3, the parameters having the greatest influence on the total benefits of the final rule are the variables related to the complexity of the expected applications developed by industry applicants followed by the related effects on complexity encountered during NRC environmental reviews. The spread in simulation results reflects the NRC experience with wide-ranging issues, which can complicate individual applications as reflected in Table 4.4 above. Fifty-percent adjustments (reductions) in the number of Category 1 issues can reduce the net benefits by as much as 60 percent. Imposing a 7-percent discount rate on the net benefits results in an approximately 50-percent decline in net benefits compared to undiscounted estimates. Adjusting the industry labor rate and the NRC labor rate each by +/- 25-percent have equal influence on the benefits expected from the rule and equate to an approximately +/- 15-percent impact on the undiscounted net benefits. All other variables, taken individually, have lesser impacts on the financial net benefits of the rule.
Figure 4.3 also illustrates the effect of front-loading or back-loading the eight planned ANR
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-9 applications, as opposed to the assumed even distribution of applications modeled as the most likely case. These bars are indicated with an asterisk (*) to denote that the results are discounted using the 7-percent discount rate. The timing of the eight applications only matters in financial terms when compared to other discounted values. Front-loading the applications in the early years of the analysis period increases the discounted net benefits by over 25 percent, while delaying submission of applications until the latter half of the analysis period decreases discounted net benefits by just over 20 percent.
Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.5 provide insight into the most sensitive variables in the analysis, including the NEPA review complexity and the variability in the number of Category 1 issues applicable to any one NEPA review. The parameters for the review complexity distribution reflected in Figure 4.4 were developed from previous NRC NEPA review experience and reflect SME attribution of the proportion of billed effort to each individual Category 1 issue. SME attribution of effort proportions was multiplied by the portion of past NEPA review costs for COL and ESP actions attributed to impact assessments. The range of applications and sites resulted in scalars that have been applied to what the SMEs judged to be the most and least complex NEPA reviews.
Figure 4.4 Distribution of NEPA Review Complexity used in Monte Carlo Analysis Figure 4.5 reflects the uncertain nature of future ANR applications. Some applications may be for large projects where all 100 Category 1 issues may be subject to generic analysis, and others may be for smaller projects where only a subset of the Category 1 issue may apply.
Thus, the distribution illustrates the total number of Category 1 issues expected to be relevant during the proposed rules analysis period of 2024-2034.
Regulatory Analysis Page 4-10 Figure 4.5 Distribution of Total Category 1 Issues Analyzed during the Proposed Rule (2024-2034).
The NRC also considered the case where potential applicants may quickly take advantage of the proposed rule and may be preparing now for it to be implemented. This might enable some applicants to submit an ANR application soon after the final rule becomes effective. If this occurs, the savings benefits would happen sooner and would increase the total net benefits of the rule.
Regulatory Analysis Page 5-1 5.0 DECISION RATIONALE Relative to the No-Action alternative, Alternative 2 results in a net benefit of approximately
$7.33 million (total present value), using a 7-percent discount rate, or $10.8 million using a 3-percent discount rate. Additionally, the NRC has concluded that proceeding with Alternative 2 is justified for the following reasons:
- 1. Alternative 2 incorporates revisions to 10 CFR Part 51, including Table C-1 which reflect the findings described in the ANR GEIS.
- 2. Alternative 2 incorporates text to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the environmental review for advanced reactor applications by codifying the GEIS findings in Table C-1. Improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the advanced reactor environmental reviews will reduce the cost to industry of preparing environmental reports for advanced reactor applications and focuses resources on project-specific analyses. The NRC also will recognize similar reductions in cost and be better able to focus its resources on the important project-specific issues during ANR licensing environmental reviews.
Regulatory Analysis Page 6-1 6.0 IMPLEMENTATION This section identifies how and when the proposed action will be implemented, the required NRC actions to ensure implementation, and the impact on NRC resources.
6.1 Schedule The NRC assumes that the proposed rule would become effective 30 days after its publication in the Federal Register in 2024.

SUMMARY
OF RULE SAVINGS RESULTS - ALTERNATIVE 2 This appendix presents the detailed financial cost savings impacts of the proposed rule for each Category 1 issue, both for industry and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The substantial majority of impacts attributable to the proposed rule derive from the reduction in industry and NRC environmental review effort required to satisfy National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reporting requirements for new ANR licensing actions.
This reduction in effort enabled by use of the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) to provide generic impact estimates across 100 Category 1 issues leads to substantial savings over current practice and represents a quantifiable national benefit.
The analysis of savings relies upon several assumptions about how the proposed rule will be utilized by industry including the number and timing of applications expected to be submitted to NRC under the rule during the operational period of the proposed rule (2024-2034). The NRC assumes that eight applications will be submitted for ANR projects under the proposed rule. Further, the NRC assumes that no application will be submitted until 18-24 months after the implementation of the final rule. These assumptions are judged to form the most likely evolution of impacts of the proposed rule and the detailed results presented in this appendix reflect that assumption. However, it is plausible that at least one application may be submitted relatively soon after the implementation date of the final rule. The effect of this potential is presented as part of the uncertainty analysis in Section 4.3. The sooner in the operational period of the proposed rule that industry utilizes its provisions and submits an ANR licensing application, the larger the financial effects (net benefits) would be.
The proposed rule creates 100 Category 1 issues for which generic impact analysis can be utilized by industry and NRC staff. Error! Reference source not found. provides the annual and total savings estimated to result for each Category 1 issue used by industry. As the size and complexity of the expected ANR applications are not known at the time of this analysis, the NRC staff assumes that the most likely case would be for applications taking full advantage of the proposed rule and invoking a generic analysis for all 100 Category 1 issues. Section 4.3 illustrates potential results if a distribution of applications using various numbers of Category 1 issues might occur.
The results presented in Error! Reference source not found. reflect the following input variables (Section 3.3 provides more detailed discussion):
- Labor Rate: The industry labor rate was assumed to be the average between the NRC labor rate of $137/hour and the NRC contractor labor rate of $190/hour, which equates to
$163.50/hour.
- Hours per Application: For each Category 1 issue, the NRC staff estimated the hours saved by utilizing the generic impact analysis findings in the ANR GEIS. These impacts are a one-time realization of review effort savings per application realized when the application is accepted by NRC and a formal environmental review commences.
- ANR Applications per Year: As discussed above and in Section 3.3, this represents the NRCs assumed number of ANR applications utilizing the provisions of the proposed rule.
The values reported in Error! Reference source not found. expand on the totals presented in Table 3.2.

NRC operations under the proposed rule would be somewhat lagged compared to industry to account for the period industry would need to generate and submit each application. Therefore, the NRC assumes that half of the needed environmental review would occur during the same year that industry submits an application, and the other half of the review could be completed in the year following application submittal by industry. The effect of this assumption is that while during the proposed rule analysis period (2024-2034) industry is assumed to submit eight ANR applications, during that same period NRC would
Regulatory Analysis Page A-52 be assumed to complete eight application reviews.
The results presented in Table A-2 reflect the following input variables (Section 3.3.4 provides more detailed discussion):
- Labor Rate: The NRC labor rate was assumed to be the weighted average between the NRC labor rate of $137/hour and the NRC contractor labor rate of $190/hour, weighted by the relative effort between NRC staff and NRC contractor staff per ANR application review.
This weighed average equates to $168/hour.
- Hours per Application: For each Category 1 issue, the NRC estimated the hours saved by utilizing the generic impact analysis findings in the ANR GEIS. These impacts are a one-time realization of review effort savings per application realized when the application review is completed by NRC staff and NRC contractor staff and the licensing decision is rendered by the Commission.
- ANR Applications per Year: As discussed above and in Section 3.3.4, this represents the NRCs assumed number of ANR applications utilizing the provisions of the proposed rule.
The values reported in Table A-2 roll up to the totals presented in Table 3-3.
