Short Statement:
The proposed rulemaking constitutes design certification for the ESBWR standard plant design through the addition of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 52. This appendix allows interested parties to reference the ESBWR design in an application for a COL. The addition of Appendix E increases the total annual burden by 45 hours (from 204,075 to 204,120), which includes an increase by 5 burden hours for reporting (from 191,774 to 191,779) and 40 burden hours for recordkeeping (from 12,301 to 12,341). It also results in the addition of 2 respondents (from 5 to 7) and 3 responses (from 11 to 14). The new respondents are GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy (the design certification applicant) and Detroit Edison Company (the combined license applicant). There is a corresponding cost increase of $11,655 (45 hours x $259/hr).
