PROPOSED RULE: NEW APPENDIX G TO 10 CFR PART 52 DESIGN CERTIFICATION FOR THE NUSCALE DESIGN - The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to certify the NuScale standard design. This action is necessary so that applicants or licensees intending to construct and operate an NuScale standard design may do so by referencing this design certification rule. The applicant for certification of the NuScale standard design is NuScale Power, LLC.
This proposed rulemaking constitutes design certification for the NuScale standard design through the addition of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 52. This appendix allows interested parties to reference the NuScale design in an application for a COL. One respondent is NuScale Power (the design certification applicant) who will incur 37 hours of recordkeeping burden at a cost of $10,323 (37 hours x $279/hr). The other respondents are the two COL applicants, expected to submit COL applications during the period of this clearance, who will, together, incur 346 hours of reporting burden (at time of application) and 6 hours of recordkeeping burden at a cost of $98,208 ((6 hours + 346 hours) x $279/hr)).
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.
