Information Collections Contained in the Appendix F to 10 CFR Part 52 Design Certification Rule for the APR1400 Design

APR1400 DIRECT FINAL RULE The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is amending its regulations at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 52 to certify the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) standard design. Applicants or licensees intending to construct and operate an APR1400 design may do so by referencing this design certification (DC) rule, and need not demonstrate in its application the safety of the certified design as amended. Subpart B of 10 CFR Part 52 establishes the process for obtaining design certifications. The addition of Appendix F to 10 CFR Part 52 allows interested parties to reference the APR1400 design in an application for a combined license (COL). The information collection requirements of 10 CFR Part 52 were based largely on the requirements for licensing nuclear facilities under 10 CFR Part 50. Therefore, the burden for 10 CFR Part 52 resulting from the addition of a design certification is minimal.
