In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved until 8/31/2012 on the following conditions: 1) the agency will publish the unchanged submitted version of the final rule in the Federal Register; 2) upon resubmission, the agency will revisit public comments received regarding frequency and burden of new requirements to assess a) whether the burden estimates were accurate and b) whether the practical utility of the burden outweighs the most current agency estimate of respondent burden.

Final Rule, 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, and 72, Decommissioning Planning The NRC is amending its regulations to improve decommissioning planning, and thereby reduce the likelihood that any current operating facility will become a legacy site. The amended regulations require licensees to conduct their operations to minimize the introduction of residual radioactivity into the site, which includes the site's subsurface soil and ground water. Licensees also may be required to perform site surveys, to determine whether residual radioactivity is present in subsurface areas, and to keep records of these surveys with records important for decommissioning. The amended regulations require licensees to report additional details in their decommissioning cost estimates (DCE), eliminate the escrow account and lineof credit as approved financial assurance mechanisms, and modify other financial assurance requirements. The amended regulations require decommissioning power reactor licensees to report additional information on the costs of decommissioning and spent fuel management.

The estimated annual burden of 4,708.5 hours for one-time recordkeeping (annualized), annual recordkeeping annual reporting, and annual third-party reporting burden of the rule represents new burden due to changes in the requirements. Of this, 1,226 hours, approximately 26%, are for one-time recordkeeping requirements. The estimated annual burden has increased from the estimate provided in the clearance for the proposed rule. One-time recordkeeping requirements in Table 1 increased from 476 hours to 1,226 hours because, as explained above in section 8, the NRC concluded that an additional 750 hours should be estimated for licensees to read and become familiar with the requirement in §20.1406(c) and determine what actions, if any, they are required to take. Annual recordkeeping burden in Table 2 increased from 128 hours to 848 hours due to a increase in the estimated number of Part 72 general licensees estimated to be required to prepare and maintain decommissioning funding plans and cost estimates under §72.30(b)(1), (3), (5) and (6) and an associated increase of 720 hours in the estimated burden. In Table 3, Annual Reporting Burden, the estimated number of respondents increased from 93 to 188 due to an increase in the estimated number of respondents from 3 to 10 each for §50.82(a)(4)(i), § 50.82(a)(8)(v) and §50.82(a)(8)(vii), an estimated increase of 60 respondents for §72.30(c), and an estimated increase of 14 respondents for §72.30(g); and the annual reporting burden increased by 1,288 hours from 642.5 hours to 1,930.5 hours due to increases in the estimated burden of 160 hours, 56 hours, 56 hours, 960 hours, and 56 hours respectively. Finally, the estimate in Table 4 of annual third party burden increased from 568 to 720 hours due to an additional new estimate of 16 hours for CPA review of Part 50 financial test submissions and an additional new estimate of 120 hours for Part 72 licensees. The final rule was entered into ROCIS under 10 CFR Part 30 (3150-0017) as was the proposed rule and upon OMB approval and publication of the final rule, the additional burden for the other regulations will be transferred from Part 30 to the correct regulation. The overall burden for this final rule is an estimated 4,708.5 hours of which the bulk of the burden (1,208.2 hrs) is captured under Part 30. The breakdown of the additional burden is as follows: Part 20 (3150-0014): 750 hours; Part 40 (3150-0020): 371.2 hours; Part 50 (3150-0011): 336 hours; Part 70 (3150-0009): 183.1 hours; and Part 72 (3150-0132): 1,860 hours. The burden hours captured in the previous statement all include the burden for 3rd party collection, which is an estimated 704 hours, and a one-time recordkeeping burden, which is an estimated 1,226 hours. The overall burden breakdown is 1,930.5 hours for reporting; 848 hours for recordkeeping; 704 hours for 3rd party and 1,226 hours for one-time recordkeeping, resulting in a total of 4,708.5 hours.
