Short Statement:
The reasons for the estimated burden changes (reflecting an overall burden decrease of 62,716 hours, from 3,710,882 hours to 3,648,166 hours) are primarily related to the decrease in operating reactors. In the last renewal, the NRC staff-based estimates of 94 operating reactors. The current submission estimates 89 operating reactors, due to an increase in owner/operators not renewing their operating license. The section specific supporting statements (Supplementary Documents, Sections 2 through 7) have the details on the burden changes for each section. The 62,716 hour change in burden was calculated by summing the burden from the individual sections and 7 comparing the total to the burden from currently in ROCIS (the burden from the previous clearance plus the burden from the four previously mentioned final rules). The overall decrease in burden due to the decrease in operating reactors is not linear as not all requirements are reactor specific but may apply to an entire multi-unit site or a utility. The increase in reporting burden (a 49,416 hour increase) is primarily due to the anticipated submission of a design certification and the burden associated with the earthquake engineering criteria for this submission, described in section 7. The decrease in recordkeeping burden (a 112,232 hour decrease) is primarily due to a review of data associated with requirements in 50.69, described in section 5. A sample of recent reports for 25 licensees showed that licensees were performing far fewer evaluations than previously estimated (approximately 3 per plant/ year rather than 95 per plant/year), which led staff to reduce the associated recordkeeping burden for this requirement.
