Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establishes requirements for the granting of early site permits (ESPs), certifications of standard NPP designs, and licenses which combine in a single license a construction permit, and an operating license with conditions, operating licenses (OLs), manufacturing licenses (MLs), standard design approvals (SDAs), and preapplication reviews of site suitability issues. Part 52 also establishes requirements for renewal of those approvals, permits, certifications, and licenses; amendments to them; exemptions from certifications; and variances from ESPs. The NRC uses the information collected to assess the adequacy and suitability of an applicant's site, plant design, construction, training and experience, plans and procedures for the protection of public health and safety. The NRC review of such information and the findings derived from that information form the basis of NRC decisions and actions concerning the issuance, modification or revocation of site permits, design certifications (DCs), combined licenses (COLs), and MLs for nuclear power plants (NPPs).
The estimated annual burden for Part 52 will decrease by 6,313 hours from 205,155 hours to 198,842 hours for the following reasons:
â Reporting
o Subpart A
52.17 & 52.39, ESPs -8,180 hours
(Decrease from 3 to 0 ESP applications over the next 3 years. The NRC has been in communication with prospective ESP applicants and at this time there appears to be no interest in submitting an ESP application.)
o Subpart B
52.47, DCs +0 hours
(No change from 4 to 4 DC applications over the next 3 years; The NRC has been in communication with prospective DC applicants and at this time there appears somewhat less interest in submitting a DC application than in the previous period.)
o Subpart C
52.79, COLs +9,749 hours
(Addition of new provisions to 10 CFR 52.99 increased reporting requirements by applicants. However, Decrease from 4 to 1 new COL applications expected over the next 3 years. The NRC has been in communication with prospective COL applicants and at this time, due to variables such as financing, need for power, etc., there appears to be much less interest in submitting COL applications than in the previous period.)
o Subpart E
52.137, SDAs +0 hours
(No change from 0 to 0 SDAs over next 3 years. The NRC has been in communication with prospective SDA applicants and at this time there appears to be no interest in submitting an SDA application.)
o Subpart F
52.157, MLs +0 hours
(No change from 0 to 0 MLs over next 3 years. The NRC has been in communication with prospective ML applicants and at this time there appears to be no interest in submitting an ML application.)
Appendices for DCs +2,064 hours
(Increase from 0 to 4 respondents at 508 hours per response. The NRC expects to receive reports on departures or updates to the DCD from COL licenses constructing nuclear power plants.)
Appendix N +0 hours
(No change from 0 to 0 respondents at 50 hours per response. The NRC has been in communication with prospective COL applicants and at this time there appears to be less interest in submitting a COL application than in the previous period, none of which would be for a design used at multiple sites.)
â Recordkeeping
o 52.47 DCs (Initial) +500 hours
(Increase from 4 to 7 DC record keepers over the next 3 years.)
o 52.57(a) DCs (Renewal) -167 hours
(Decrease from 1 to 0 DC renewal record keepers over the next 3 years, as the NRC expects no new DC renewal applications during this time period.)
o 52.63(b)(2), 52.63(c), & 52.73(b) COLs referencing a DC -8,667 hours
(Decrease from 17 to 4 COLs issued over the next 3 years.
Appendices +0 hours
(No change from 1 to 1 each per appendix for Appendices A-D over the next 3 years. The NRC has 4 DCs certified and each is required to keep records for its certification.)
Appendices +6 hours
(X.A.4.a and X.A.4.b are covered under final rule U.S Advanced Boiling Water Reactor Aircraft Impact Design Certification Amendment (3150-0210).
