Abstract: PROPOSED RULE, 10 CFR PART 52, REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF INSPECTIONS, TESTS, ANALYSES, AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations in 10 CFR 52.99 related to verification of nuclear power plant construction activities through inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) under a combined license. Specifically, the NRC is proposing new provisions that apply after a licensee has completed an ITAAC and submitted an ITAAC closure notification. The new provisions would require licensees to 1) report new information materially altering the basis for determining that either inspections, tests, or analyses were performed as required, or that acceptance criteria are met; and 2) to notify the NRC of completion of all ITAAC activities.

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: All of the burden for this information collection will be new burden which will be added to 10 CFR Part 52 and the total is 1,056 hours annually. This proposed rule would increase the annual burden for 10 CFR Part 52 from 204,075 hours to 205,131 hours by requiring licensees to report new information materially altering the basis for determining that either inspections, tests, or analyses were performed as required, or that acceptance criteria are met, and to notify the NRC of completion of all ITAAC activities. In addition, the 7 annual respondents to this collection are in addition to the 5 annual respondents currently on record for this collection. These 7 annual respondents (22 total respondents over the 3-year period) submitted applications in a prior clearance period and were accounted for under this clearance at that time. The provisions of this rule would require an additional response from those same licensees at the time of ITAAC closure.
