This proposed rule is the latest in a
series of rulemakings that incorporate by reference the latest
versions of several Regulatory Guides identifying new and revised
unconditionally or conditionally acceptable ASME Code Cases that
are approved for use. The incorporation by reference of these Code
Cases will reduce the number of alternative requests submitted by
licensees under § 50.55a(z) by an estimated 24 requests
annually.
The proposed rule would
decrease the burden for 10 CFR Part 50 from 3,708,530 hours and
43,623 responses to 3,699,410 hours and 43,599 responses, a
reduction of 9,120 hours and 24 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 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.
