Proposed Rule for 10 CFR Part 52, U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) Aircraft Impact Design Certification Amendment
The NRC proposes to amend its regulations to certify an amendment to the U.S. ABWR standard plant design to comply with 10 CFR 50.150, "Aircraft Impact Assessment." This action will allow applicants or licensees intending to construct and operate a U.S. ABWR to comply with 10 CFR 50.150 by referencing the amended DCR.
The overall burden for this proposed rule will increase by 6 hours from 204,075 hours to 204,081 hours because of the following: (1) requiring combined license applicants to report information demonstrating that an entity other than the original applicant is qualified to supply the U.S. ABWR certified design, or this amendment to the U.S. ABWR certified design, unless the original applicant supplies the design for the combined license applicant's use; (2) an applicant referencing the U.S. ABWR design, that proposes to depart from the information required by 10 CFR 52.47(a)(28) to be included in the FSAR, to consider the effect of the changed AIA feature or capability on the original 10 CFR 50.150(a) assessment and to document how the modified design features and functional capabilities continue to meet the assessment requirements in 10 CFR 50.150(a)(1); and (3) the applicant for this amendment to the U.S. ABWR design, and any applicant of licensee referencing this amendment, to maintain a copy of the aircraft impact assessment performed to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.150(a) for the term of the certification or license (including any period of renewal).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
