Abstract:
Title 10, Part 54, establishes license renewal requirements for commercial nuclear power plants and describes the information that licensees must submit to the NRC when applying for a license renewal. The application must contain information on how the licensee will manage the detrimental effects of age-related degradation on certain plant systems, structures, and components so as to continue the plants safe operation during the renewal term. The NRC needs this information to determine whether the licensees actions will be effective in assuring the plants continued safe operation. Holders of renewed licenses must retain in an auditable and retrievable form, for the term of the renewed operating license, all information and documentation required to document compliance with 10 CFR Part 54. The NRC needs access to this information for continuing effective regulatory oversight.

Short Statement:
The overall burden estimate increased from 148,000 hours (128,000 hours reporting plus 20,000 hours recordkeeping) to 544,940 hours (504,940 hours reporting plus 40,000 hours recordkeeping). The burden increased significantly for several reasons: Reporting burden -NRC corrected and validated the method for calculating annualized reporting burden. -NRC revised its burden estimate for preparing and submitting an application, based on licensee input. The estimate increased from 64,000 hours per application to 84,150 hours per application. -NRC included a new burden for 4 licensees annually to submit commitment completion letters as a condition of their new licenses. Recordkeeping -As additional licensees apply for renewed licenses, the number of recordkeepers is expected to increase. The annual number of recordkeepers increased from 20 annual recordkeepers to 40 annual recordkeepers.
