NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to 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 March 3, 2008.
    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: Approximately 
5.33 (16 responses in three years). Note that this estimate was revised 
from the estimate published in the 60-day Federal Register Notice for 
this collection, in which the NRC estimated that it would receive 9 
annual responses. The estimate was adjusted to better reflect the 
number of applications the NRC anticipates receiving during the three-
year clearance period.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: Approximately 5.33.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 389,090 (73,000 hours per 
applicant).
    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.
    A copy of the final supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance 
requests are available at the NRC worldwide Web site: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/doc-comment/omb/index.html. The document 
will be available on the NRC 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 July 2, 2008. 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.

Nathan J. Frey, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (3150-
0093), NEOB-10202, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 
20503.

    Comments can also be e-mailed to [email protected] or 
submitted by telephone at (202) 395-7345.
    The NRC Clearance Officer is Margaret A. Janney, (301) 415-7245.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of May 2008.
