PROPOSED RULE: Mitigation of Beyond-Design-Bases Events. In response to the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, the NRC is seeking to: 1) make the requirements in Order EA-12-049 and Order EA-12-051 generically applicable giving consideration to lessons learned from implementation of the orders; 2) establish new requirements for an integrated response capability; 3) establish new requirements for actions that are related to onsite emergency response; and 4) address a number of petitions for rulemakings submitted following the March 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi event.
The estimated incremental burden of the information collections associated with the proposed rule is 6,500 hours. This estimate is composed of one-time recordkeeping requirements associated with the proposed rule.
The proposed rule would require licensees to review the rule provisions to ensure that current practices satisfy the requirements of the proposed rule. The NRC anticipates that some changes may be needed to procedures, programs, or plans.
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.
