Final Rule entitled: 10 CFR Parts 50
and 52, "Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Regulations." The
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in 10 CFR
50.34, 50.47, 50.54, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E prescribe
requirements for emergency preparedness plans and coordination in
protecting nuclear power reactors, non power reactors, and the
surrounding community against consequences resulting from accidents
and sabotage. The proposed rule contains reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, including those for third parties,
which are necessary to help ensure that an adequate level of
emergency preparedness is attained by nuclear power reactor
licensees, non power reactors, and the surrounding community. This
revision addresses changes in information collections contained in
the proposed rule, Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness
Regulations. Specifically, the draft proposed rule results in
changes to information collection requirements in § 50.47, § 50.54,
and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.
The estimated incremental
recordkeeping and reporting burden of the proposed rule is 177,242
hours (82,576 hours recordkeeping from Tables 1 and 2, plus 2,236
hours reporting from Tables 3 and 4, plus 92,430 hours third-party
from Table 5). This estimate includes the one-time and annual
requirements of the proposed rule. Of this, 72,769 hours are for
one-time reporting and recordkeeping requirements (Tables 1 and 3).
Therefore, the proposed burden increase will be reduced by
approximately 41 percent once the one-time requirements have been
completed. The proposed rule changes numerous information
collection requirements in §50.47, §50.54, and 10 CFR Part 50
Appendix E. The factors that account for the increased burden
include the following: The proposed rule requires licensees to (1)
update ETEs on a periodic basis; (2) submit exercise scenarios to
NRC for review and approval; (3) submit for NRC review and approval
in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90 changes in emergency plans that
would reduce the effectiveness of the plans; (4) coordinate with
state, local, and federal agencies regarding emergency response
resources; and (5) develop procedures addressing protective
measures for onsite personnel. The proposed rule contains these new
provisions that include reporting and recordkeeping burdens that
were not part of previous estimates.
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;

these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
