The current submission is a request
for a new clearance number, to be discontinued once the burden and
associated information collections can be transferred into
3150-0011, the clearance for information collections contained in
10 CFR Part 50. FINAL RULE: 10 CFR Part 50, American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Code Cases and Inservice Testing and Inservice
Inspection Program Update Frequency -- This final rule is the
latest in a series of rulemakings that incorporate by reference the
latest revisions of three regulatory guides (RGs) identifying new
and revised unconditionally or conditionally acceptable ASME Code
Cases that are approved for use. The NRC is proposing to amend its
regulations to incorporate by reference proposed revisions of three
regulatory guides, which would approve new, revised, and reaffirmed
code cases published by the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers. This action allows nuclear power plant licensees and
applicants for construction permits, operating licenses, combined
licenses, standard design certifications, standard design
approvals, and manufacturing licenses to use the code cases listed
in these draft regulatory guides as voluntary alternatives to
engineering standards for the construction, inservice inspection,
and inservice testing of nuclear power plant components. These
engineering standards are set forth in the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Operation and Maintenance Code,
which are currently incorporated by reference into the NRC's
regulations. Further, this final rule announces the availability of
a related regulatory guide, not incorporated by reference into the
NRC's regulations, that lists code cases that the NRC has not
approved for use. In addition, this rulemaking provides more
flexibility to licensees by expanding the code of record interval
from ten years to two consecutive inservice testing and inservice
inspection intervals.
The final rule would increase
the burden for 10 CFR Part 50 from 3,633,354 hours and 42,191
responses to 3,633,516 hours and 42,192 responses, a one-time per
licensee increase of 162 hours and 1 response. The burden increases
reflect the development and submission of 10 CFR 50.55a(z)
alternative requests as required by the NRC’s adoption condition
for Code Case N-716-3 and the accompanying recordkeeping
requirements.
