Short Statement:
The NRCs regulations in 10 CFR Part 51.53(c) require each applicant to prepare and submit a report entitled Applicants Environmental Report Operating License Renewal Stage, with the applicants license renewal application. The information provided by an applicant in the environmental report (ER) helps the NRC meet its regulatory obligations under NEPA. In the ER, the applicant provides information about the plant, the environment that could be affected by license renewal, and an assessment of the environmental impacts identified as Category 2 issues in Table B-1 in Appendix B to Subpart A to 10 CFR Part 51. The applicant also is required to include descriptive information and any new and significant impact information for Category 1 issues in Table B-1. The GEIS was published as a Final Rule on December 18, 1996 (61 FR 66537). In Appendix B to Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51, the Commission stated its intent to review the findings in Appendix B on a 10-year cycle and to update the requirements if necessary. The proposed rule revisions are the result of the 10-hear review conducted by the NRC on the information and findings currently presented in Table B-1 and are based on lessons learned and knowledge gained from previous license renewal reviews. Burden Increases: The estimated burden of 2,568 hours for one-time reporting (annualized) represents an increase in reporting requirements that must be included in the applicants ER due to changes made to Table B-1 (e.g., creating new Category 1 and 2 Issues; additional information requirements added to some Category 2 Issues; changing some issues from Category 1 to Category 2). Burden Decreases: The estimated burden of 624 hours for one-time reporting (annualized) represents a reduction in reporting requirements due to changes made to Table B 1 (i.e., changing some issues from Category 2 to Category 1). Net-one-time reporting (annualized) industry burden: 1,944 hours (2,568 hours 624 hours) at a cost of $462,672.
