Short Statement:
The proposed rule would decrease the burden for 10 CFR Part 50 from 3,708,530 hours and 43,623 responses to 3,699,410 hours and 43,599 responses, a reduction of 9,120 hours and 24 responses. The proposed rule reduces burden by incorporating by reference recent ASME Code Cases. As a result of this incorporation by reference, burden on licensees to submit requests for alternatives under 10 CFR 50.55a(z) will be reduced. Licensees would no longer need to submit alternative requests in order to use these Code Cases, once they are included in NRC’s Regulatory Guides.
