Final Rule entitled: 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52, "Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Regulations." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in 10 CFR 50.47, 50.54, and 52.79, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, prescribe requirements for emergency preparedness (EP) plans and coordination in protecting nuclear power reactors, non-power reactors, and the surrounding community against consequences resulting from accidents and hostile action. The final rule contains reporting and recordkeeping requirements, including those for third parties, which are necessary to help ensure that an adequate level of EP is attained by nuclear power reactor licensees, non-power reactors, and the surrounding community. This revision addresses changes in information collections contained in the final rule, "Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Regulations." Specifically, the final rule results in changes to information collection requirements in §§ 50.47, 50.54, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.
The estimated incremental recordkeeping and reporting burden of the final rule is 117,187 hours (96,687 hours recordkeeping from Tables 1 and 2, plus 1,975 hours reporting from Table 3, plus 18,525 hours third-party from Table 4). This estimate includes the one-time and annual requirements of the final rule. Of this, 85,964 hours are for one-time recordkeeping requirements (Table 1), and 18,525 hours are for one-time third-party requirements. Therefore, the burden increase will be reduced by approximately 89 percent once the one-time requirements have been completed. The final rule changes numerous information collection requirements in §§ 50.47, 50.54, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.
The factors that account for the increased burden include the following: The final rule requires licensees to (1) update ETEs on a periodic basis; (2) submit exercise scenarios to NRC for review and verification; (3) submit for NRC review and approval in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90 changes in emergency plans that would reduce the effectiveness of the plans; (4) coordinate with State, local, and Federal agencies regarding emergency response resources; and (5) develop procedures addressing protective measures for onsite personnel. The final rule contains these new provisions that include reporting and recordkeeping burdens that were not part of previous estimates.
