Abstract: PROPOSED RULE, APPROVAL OF AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS' CODE CASES This proposed rule is the latest in a series of rulemakings that incorporate by reference new versions of several RGs identifying new and revised unconditionally or conditionally acceptable ASME Code Cases that are approved for use. In developing these RGs, the NRC staff reviews ASME BPV and OM Code Cases, determines the acceptability of each Code Case, and its findings in RGs. The RGs are revised periodically as new Code Cases are published by the ASME. The NRC incorporates by reference the RGs listing acceptable and conditionally acceptable ASME Code Cases into 10 CFR part 50.55a.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed rule would decrease the burden for Part 50 from 4,382,153 hours and 45,202 responses to 4,367,713 hours and 45,164 responses, a reduction of 14,440 hours and 38 responses. The proposed rule reduces burden by incorporating by reference recent ASME Code Cases. As a result of this incorporation by reference, burden on licensees to submit 5 requests for alternatives under 10 CFR 50.55a(z) will be reduced. Licensees would no longer need to submit alternative requests in order to use these Code Cases, once they are included in NRC’s Regulatory Guides.
