Abstract:
10 CFR Part 50 of the NRC's regulations, "domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," specifies technical information and data to be provided to the NRC or maintained by applicants and licensees so that the NRC may make determinations necessary to protect the health and safety of the public, in accordance with the Act. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in 10 CFR 50 are mandatory for the affected licensees and applicants. The current nonsubstantive change request seeks to adjust the hours for Part 50 (a reduction of 1,735 hours) due to a final rule incorporating American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code cases into the regulations by reference. Prior to publication of the rule, these hours were reviewed by OMB as part of an insignificant burden determination for the rule.

Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The burden adjustment in this nonsubstantive change requests reflects two changes: 1) There is an additional burden of 25 hours (5 hours each for 5 licensees) for licensees who apply a particular code case (N-730) to maintain records. 2) 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5) and 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5) allow applicants to request relief from ASME Code requirements determined to be impractical. NRC estimates that adoption of Code Cases listed in the Regulatory Guides will reduce burden on all 104 reactors by reducing the number of relief requests submitted. The Code Cases will accommodate situations in which certain inspections or tests cannot be conducted, without requiring the licensee to submit a relief request to the NRC. The NRC estimates that the incorporation of the Regulatory Guides included in this rule will reduce the number of relief requests by 88 requests annually, at 20 hours per request (a decrease of 1,760 hours). The total burden change for the rule is a decrease of 1,735 hours (-1,760 hours + 25 hours).
