PROPOSED RULE: Risk-Informed,
Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors The
NRC is proposing to establish an optional technology-inclusive
regulatory framework for use by applicants for new commercial
nuclear plant designs. The regulatory requirements developed in
this rulemaking would use methods of evaluation, including
risk-informed and performance-based methods, that are flexible and
practicable for application to a variety of new reactor
technologies. The NRC’s goals in amending these regulations are to
continue to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of
public health and safety and the common defense and security at
reactor sites at which new nuclear reactor designs are deployed to
at least the same degree of protection as required for
current-generation LWRs; protect health and minimize danger to life
or property to at least the same degree of protection as required
for current-generation LWRs; provide greater operational
flexibilities where supported by enhanced margins of safety that
may be provided in new nuclear designs; and promote regulatory
stability, predictability, and clarity. The proposed rule covers
diverse topics, which result in recordkeeping and reporting
requirements related to contents of applications, plant design and
analysis, siting, construction and manufacturing, licensing-basis
information, facility operations, programs, staffing, FFD, physical
security, cyber-security, AA, decommissioning, and quality
assurance. The proposed rule also would require part 53 licensees
to use NRC Forms 893 and 894 to report on positive drug and alcohol
test results (NRC Form 893) and annual fitness-for-duty program
performance (NRC Form 894). The information collections associated
with the proposed rule have been submitted under the following
clearance numbers: 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 26 (temporary
clearance number, 3150-0146 is currently unavailable for
submissions due to the renewal) 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 50
(temporary clearance number, 3150-0011 is currently unavailable for
submissions due to the renewal) 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 53
(new clearance number for a new CFR Part) 3150-XXXX NRC Forms 893
and 894 (new clearance number for a new form) 3150-0002: 10 CFR
Part 73 (revision) 3150-0104: NRC Form 366 (revision) 3150-0238:
NRC Form 361 (revision)
The proposed rule would impose
new information collections for Part 53 licensees to report to the
NRC following the occurrence of an FFD policy violation, such as a
positive result on a drug or alcohol test, and to submit an annual
report to the NRC on FFD program performance, regarding, in part,
results from drug and alcohol testing. No burden is anticipated
during the clearance period, but future licensees would incur an
annual burden of 0.5 hours per single positive test form submitted
(NRC Form 893) and 106 hours to annually prepare and submit NRC
Form 894, Annual Reporting Form for FFD Information. Note that no
responses are anticipated during the clearance period; however, 1
hour and 1 respondent were entered due to ROCIS requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
