Final Rule entitled: Incorporation by
Reference of Edition and Addenda to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) Codes and New and Revised ASME Code Cases into 10
CFR 50.55a The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
develops and publishes the ASME B&PV Code, which contains
requirements for the design, construction, and inservice inspection
(ISI) of nuclear power plant components; and the ASME OM Code,
which contains requirements for inservice testing (IST) of nuclear
power plant components. The ASME issues new editions of the ASME
B&PV Code every 3 years, and issues addenda to the editions
yearly except in years when a new edition is issued. It has been
the NRC's practice to review new editions and addenda of the ASME
B&PV and OM Codes and periodically update 10 CFR 50.55a to
incorporate newer editions and addenda by reference. The NRC
approves and/or mandates the use of editions and addenda of the
Codes in 10 CFR 50.55a through the rulemaking process of
"incorporation by reference."
There is an increase in
recordkeeping for code case N-770-1: The conditions of the code
case require 69 pressurized water reactors to revise procedures and
programs on a one-time basis within the next three years, estimated
at 40 hours per response. The burden is therefore .33 responses per
respondent x 69 respondents, for 23 annual responses. 23 repsonses
x 40 hours = 920 annual burden hours. There is a reduction in the
number of relief requests submitted to the NRC, which are estimated
to take 20 hours apiece. The adoption of the addenda will result in
a reduction of 1,040 hours (reduction of .05 requests per plant
annually x 104 plants x 20 hours). There is a decrease of 52
reporting responses (0.5 fewer requests per plant annually x 104
plants = -52 requests). The total change in burden is -120 hours
(+920 hours recordkeeping, -1,040 hours reporting).
