Proposed Rule: 10 CFR Parts 40 and
150, Domestic Licensing of Source Material - Amendments/Integrated
Safety Analysis The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to
amend 10 CFR Part 40 to require current licensees and future
applicants who are authorized to possess 2000 kilograms or more of
uranium hexafluoride to perform an ISA. The proposed amendments
would require licensees to submit several one-time reports
including a plan of action and an ISA summary. Annual reporting
requirements would be reduced by this proposed rulemaking by
allowing the licensees to amend aspects of their licenses through
the ISA process without a formal amendment request to the NRC.
Record keeping burden would be increased by the requirement to
perform an ISA and document changes to it as well as records of
training and other necessary actions. Event reporting under this
proposed rule would require licensees to report at 1 hour, 24
hours, and 60 day intervals. The information included in the
applications, reports and records required by the proposed rule
would be mandatory and would be reviewed by the NRC staff to assess
the adequacy of the applicant's or licensee's physical plant,
equipment, organization, training, experience, procedures and plans
for protection of public health and safety.
This proposed rule will
increase the overall burden by 295 hours from 65,418 to 65,713
hours. The proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 40 that affect the
burden and/or cost for complying with the regulations constitute
the elements for a safety program NRC considers essential to
provide a risk-informed, performance-based approach for increasing
confidence in the margin of safety for licensees authorized to
possess significant amounts of UF6. These elements include
specifying radiological and non-radiological risks to be protected
against and requiring licensees and applicants to perform a
systematic and comprehensive ISA to evaluate their safety program
against those risks, to establish a means for ensuring the
reliability and availability of items relied on for safety, to
control changes so as to prevent inadvertent degradation of items
relied on for safety, and to report incidents of failure of items
relied on for safety. The existing 10 CFR Part 40 does not provide
structured risk-informed approach for evaluating the consequences
of facility accidents.
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.
