Abstract: Part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), “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 take determinations necessary to protect the health and safety of the public, in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in 10 CFR part 50 are mandatory for the affected licensees and applicants. The information collection requirements in 10 CFR Part 50 apply to several types of facilities discussed in the rule, including nuclear power plants and non-power utilization facilities (research and test reactors). 10 CFR Part 50 covers the lifecycle of facilities from initial licensing to decommissioning.

Short Statement: The reasons for the estimated burden changes (reflecting an overall burden decrease for 10 CFR Part 50 from 4,355,554 hours to 3,708,530 hours) are primarily related to the decrease in operating reactors. In the last renewal, the NRC staff based estimates on 104 operating reactors. The current submission estimates 94 operating reactors, due to an increase in the number of reactors undergoing decommissioning. The section-specific supporting statements (Supplementary Documents, Sections 2 through 7) has the detail on the burden changes for that section. In addition, the current submission corrects the estimate of annual cost burden for this information collection (item #13 of this supporting statement, “Other additional costs”). The annual cost burden previously entered in ROCIS (starting in 2009) erroneously included burden hour costs. ROCIS instructions specify: “do not report as a dollar cost any burden reported in hours.” Annual cost burden includes capital investment or start-up costs (purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and record storage facilities) and ongoing costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. The current submission corrects this issue by excluding burden hour costs from annual cost burden, consistent with ROCIS guidance. The burden costs entered in ROCIS are reduced from $1,779,000 (a total which erroneously included burden hour costs) to $269,617 (a reduction of $1.5M). The actual change in annual cost burden, as described in item #13 of the supporting statements for the 2015 renewal and the current renewal, is from $324,682 to $269,617, a reduction of $55,065. This decrease in is due to a decrease in estimated storage costs associated with lower recordkeeping burden.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $65,369,702
