Abstract: FINAL RULE - Non-Power Production or Utilization Facility License Renewal (10 CFR Parts 50 and 51) The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations that govern the license renewal process for certain production or utilization facilities. In this final rule, the NRC collectively refers to these facilities as non-power production or utilization facilities (NPUFs). This final rule revises the definitions of “non power reactor,” “research reactor,” and “testing facility.” This final rule also eliminates license terms for licenses for facilities used for medical therapy or research and development, other than testing facilities; these licenses are issued under the authority of Sections 104a or 104c of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). This final rule defines the license renewal process for licenses issued to testing facilities under the authority of Section 104c of the AEA or commercial or industrial NPUFs (including testing facilities) under the authority of Section 103 of the AEA. This final rule requires all NPUF licensees to submit to the NRC final safety analysis report (FSAR) updates at intervals not to exceed 5 years. The information collections are being conducted to create a more efficient licensing process that continues to protect public health, safety, and the environment. Information will be used by the NRC to ensure that licensing bases remain up-to-date and that adequate protection of public health and safety is maintained. NOTE: This supporting statement includes burden associated with information collection changes to 10 CFR Part 50 (3150-0011). Due to the pending submission of the Part 50 renewal, the information collection changes to Part 50 associated with this final rule are being submitted as a new clearance. The NRC staff intends to transfer the burden associated with these information collections to the Part 50 clearance via nonsubstantive change request. In addition, due to the submission of another rule affecting Part 51, the clarifying changes to the Part 51 information collections cannot be submitted under the Part 51 clearance (3150-0021). These changes are included in the current submission and will be transferred via nonsubstantive change request.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The final rule would increase the burden for the Part 50 information collection by 1,076 hours. The estimate of 1,076 hours is composed of one-time and annual burdens associated with the final rule. The burden results in an increased burden hour cost of $341,092 (1,076 hours x $317/hour). The final rule would require licensees to update procedures as well as submit an updated FSAR and subsequent FSAR updates to the NRC at intervals not to exceed 5 years. This rule change will result in increases in recordkeeping and reporting burden within the 3-year period covered by this supporting statement. Because the final rule’s changes to Part 51 only clarify existing requirements, there is no change in burden or cost to Part 51 information collections.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $133,140
