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.

Short Statement:
The reasons for the estimated burden changes (reflecting an overall burden increase of 81,052 hours, from 3.6M hours to 3.7M hours) are primarily related to external programs which are contributing to the progression of advanced reactor designs, causing an influx of applications during this clearance cycle. Due to these programs, ongoing robust pre-application engagements (i.e., topical report reviews), meetings, discussions and continuous contact with prospective stakeholders, the agency is expected to receive applications for, construction permits (CP), early site permits (ESP), standard design approvals (SDAs) and certifications, manufacturing license (MLs), combined licensees (COLs), for commercial nuclear power reactors, as well as operating licenses (OLs) related to the licensing processes that apply to light-water reactors (LWR) and non-light water reactors (NLWR). The section- specific supporting statements (Supplementary Documents, Sections 2 through 7) has the detail on the burden changes for that section. The 81,052-hour change in burden was calculated by summing the burden from the individual sections and comparing the total to the burden from currently in ROCIS (the burden from the previous clearance plus the burden from the previously mentioned EPSMR final rule). The decrease in recordkeeping burden is primarily due to a review of data associated with 50.65, described in section 5, through NRC staff and industry interactions, program efficiencies have been achieved fostering the reduction in burden. In addition, in 2023, the NRC staff submitted a request for a new clearance to cover information collections contained in 10 CFR 50.55a, “Codes and Standards.” These information collections pertain to voluntary consensus standards developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), a voluntary consensus body. The standards are regularly updated by rulemaking; therefore, having a stand-alone information collection allows for more timely processing of these rules. These information collections were previously included in Section 5 of the Part 50 renewal but now are contained in their own clearance, “10 CFR 50.55a, Codes and Standards” (3150-0264). The burden for these requirements has been removed from the part 50 in the current submission. This submission contains the full scope of the 10 CFR Part 50 information collections that were last approved by OMB in 2021. In the interim there have been a number of updates to the 10 CFR Part 50 burden that reflect changes to selected sections of the rule. All approved information collections associated with Part 50 are reflected in the current submission.
