NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0131]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review the
following proposal for the collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter
35). The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number. The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a
60-day comment period on this information collection on July 5, 2011
(76 FR 39133).
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 100
``Reactor Site Criteria.''
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0093.
4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required: As necessary in order for
the NRC to assess the adequacy of proposed seismic design bases and the
design bases for other site hazards for nuclear power and test reactors
constructed and licensed in accordance with 10 CFR parts 50 and 52 and
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants and
licensees for nuclear power and test reactors.
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 2.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: Annually, 146,000 hours (73,000
per application x 2 applications) .
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 100, A Reactor Site Criteria, establishes
approval requirements for proposed sites for the purpose of
constructing and operating stationary power and testing reactors
pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR parts 50 or 52. These reactors are
required to be sited, designed, constructed, and maintained to
withstand geologic hazards, such as faulting, seismic hazards, and the
maximum credible earthquake, to protect the health and safety of the
public and the environment. Non-seismic siting criteria must also be
evaluated. Non-seismic siting criteria include such factors as
population density, the proximity of man-related hazards, and site
atmospheric dispersion characteristics. NRC uses the information
required by 10 CFR part 100 to evaluate whether natural phenomena and
potential man-made hazards will be appropriately accounted for in the
design of nuclear power and test reactors.

home page site for 60 days after the signature date of this notice.
Comments and questions should be directed to the OMB reviewer
listed below by November 18, 2011. Comments received after this date
will be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of
consideration cannot be given to comments received after this date.
