Abstract: 10 CFR Part 50 of the NRC's regulations, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," specifies technical information and data to be provided to the NRC or maintained by applicants and licensees so that the NRC may make determinations necessary to protect the health and safety of the public, in accordance with the Act. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in 10 CFR 50 are mandatory for the affected licensees and applicants. The current submission is a non-substantive change to the information collection contained in 10 CFR Part 50, as a result of a miscellaneous corrections rulemaking. The reporting of administrative changes to an emergency plan or implementing procedures for an emergency plan under Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 (such as address changes and telephone number changes) was eliminated, reducing licensee burden by 3,500 hours annually.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The NRC is seeking a nonsubstantive change to information collections in 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” as a result of a miscellaneous corrections final rule. The final rule removes the requirement on nuclear power plant licensees to submit any changes to their emergency plans or procedures to the Commission, as specified in § 50.4, within 30 days. Changes to an emergency plan, however, must still be reported to the NRC or requested in a license amendment application as required in 10 CFR 50.54(q). With regard to changes to procedures that are required to be submitted under appendix E, section V only, and not under 10 CFR 50.54(q), the NRC has found that these changes consist of administrative information that is inconsequential to the NRC's licensing or regulatory oversight activities (such as address changes and phone number changes). This change results in a burden reduction of 50 hours of reporting burden per site for 70 respondents, or 3,500 hours of reporting burden.
