NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2014-0148]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter
35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 100
``Reactor Site Criteria.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0093.
3. 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 Parts 50 and 52 of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants and licensees for
nuclear power and test reactors.
5. The number of annual respondents: 2.3 (7 respondents over a 3-
year period).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 167,900 hours (73,000 per application x 2.3 applications).
7. Abstract: Part 100, 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.
Seismic siting criteria include such factors as population density, the
proximity of man-related hazards, and site atmospheric dispersion
characteristics. The 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.
Submit, by September 2, 2014, comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
The public may examine and have copied for a fee publicly-available
documents, including the draft supporting statement, at the NRC's
Public Document Room, Room O-1F21, One White Flint North, 11555
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The OMB clearance requests
are available at the NRC's Web site: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/doc-comment/omb/. The document will be available on the NRC's home page
site for 60 days after the signature date of this notice.
Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made
available for public inspection. Because your comments will not be
edited to remove any identifying or contact information, the NRC
cautions you against including any information in your submission that
you do not want to be publicly disclosed. Comments submitted should
reference Docket No. NRC-2014-0148. You may submit your comments by any
of the following methods: Electronic comments go to http://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket No. NRC-2014-0148. Mail
comments to the Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Brenda Miles (T-5 F53),
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Questions about the information collection requirements may be
directed to the Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Brenda Miles (T-5 F53),
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001;
telephone: 301-415-7884, or by email to [email protected].
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of June, 2014.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
