Abstract: PROPOSED RULE: Information collections contained in Regulatory Enhancements for Reactor Licensing, Decommissioning, and Operational Oversight, 10 CFR Parts 10 CFR 20, 21, 50, 52, 53, 55, 70, 72, and 75, and NRC Forms 361, 396, 398, 536 The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to provide regulatory enhancements for reactor licensing, decommissioning, and operational oversight. The NRC identified potential changes across various parts to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as NRC forms. This effort is consistent with, and implements direction in, the recently issued E.O. 14300. This proposed rule covers a wide range of topics, including the following areas that would result in new or revised changes in recordkeeping and reporting requirements: a. Part 21 Clarifications (parts 21, 50, and 53). b. Reporting Requirements for Nonemergency Events for Nuclear Power Plants (part 50). c. Decommissioning Licensing Enhancements (parts 20, 50, 52, and 53). d. Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Trust Fund Use (parts 50, 52, and 53). e. Probabilistic Risk Assessment Requirements (part 50). f. Notification of Initial Fuel Load (parts 52 and 53). g. Requirements for Evaluation of Generic Issues and Operating Experience (part 52). h. Standard Design Approvals (parts 50, 52, and 53). i. Updates to the Operator Licensing Programs (parts 50, 53, and 55). j. Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements (parts 50, 52, 53, 70, and 72). This supporting statement includes burden associated with revised information collection in parts 21, 50, 52, 53, 55, 70, and 72, as well as NRC Forms 361, 396, 398, and 536. NOTE: Because this rule results in a net burden reduction, the data fields in the submission reflect a nominal entry of 1 hour and 1 response. Please refer to the supporting statement and burden tables for the actual burden estimates.

Short Statement: The information collected is essential to permit the NRC to exercise its regulatory oversight for reactor licensing, decommissioning, and operations. The changes in burden under Parts 21, 50, 52, 53, 55, 70, and 72, as well as NRC Forms 361, 396, 398, and 536, support this goal and would decrease burden by 101,780 hours and 2,470 responses.
