Nonsubstantive change request for 10 CFR Part 50

NONSUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST

FOR

10 CFR PART 50

DOMESTIC LICENSING OF PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION FACILITIES

(3150-0011)

Part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” specifies technical information and data to be provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or maintained by applicants and licensees so that the NRC may take determinations necessary to protect the health and safety of the public, in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

The NRC is requesting a non-substantive change to the Part 50 information collection to correct an administrative data entry error that occurred during the submission of the Approval of American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Code Cases Final Rule. The final rule was submitted to OMB on December 12, 2019 and preapproved on February 21, 2020. Following publication, the final rule was approved and concluded in ROCIS on March 16, 2020.

During data entry for the final rule, all of the burden hours were moved into the reporting category, rather than being allocated according to whether the burden is associated with reporting, recordkeeping, or third-party disclosure. This nonsubstantive change will correctly assign hours to the reporting, recordkeeping, and third party designations but does not request a change to the overall hours and responses for Part 50.

The current burden hours in ROCIS and the corrected hours are as follows:

	Reporting	Recordkeeping	Third Party Disclosure	Total
Current burden in ROCIS	3,722,235	0	0	3,722,235
Corrected burden	1,159,207	2,562,928	100	3,722,235
