Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Part 52, AP1000
Design Certification Amendment The NRC proposes to amend its
regulations to certify an amendment to the AP1000 standard plant
design to bring the design into compliance with NRC's regulations
and to increase standardization of the design. This action is
necessary so that applicants or licensees intending to construct
and operate an AP1000 design may do so by referencing this DCR as
amended.
The overall burden for this
proposed rule will increase by 24 hours from 204,075 hours to
204,099 hours because of the following: (1) requiring COL
applicants to report information demonstrating that an entity other
than Westinghouse is qualified to supply the AP1000 certified
design unless Westinghouse supplies the design for the COL
applicant's use; (2) an applicant referencing the AP1000 design,
that proposes to depart from the information required by 10 CFR
52.47(a)(28) to be included in the FSAR, to consider the effect of
the changed AIA feature or capability on the original 10 CFR
50.150(a) assessment and to document how the modified design
features and functional capabilities continue to meet the
assessment requirements in 10 CFR 50.150(a)(1); and (3) the
applicant for the AP1000 design, and any applicant or licensee
referencing Appendix D, to maintain a copy of the aircraft impact
assessment performed to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR
50.150(a) for the term of the certification or license (including
any period of renewal).
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.
