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 NRCâs adoption condition for Code Case N-716-3 and the accompanying recordkeeping requirements.
