NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections 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
NRC to assess the adequacy of proposed seismic design bases and the
design bases for other geological hazards for nuclear power and test
reactors constructed and licensed in accordance with 10 CFR Parts 50 or
52 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: 1.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 5,000.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 100, ``Reactor Site Criteria,''
establishes approval requirements for proposed sites for the
[[Page 71171]]
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. NRC uses the information
required by 10 CFR Part 100 to assess the adequacy of proposed seismic
design bases and the design bases for other geological hazards for
nuclear power and test reactors.
Submit, by February 22, 1999, 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?
A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (lower
level), Washington, DC. OMB clearance requests are available at the NRC
worldwide web site (http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/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 about the information collection
requirements may be directed to the NRC Clearance Officer, Brenda Jo.
Shelton, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, T-6 F33, Washington, DC,
20555-0001, or by telephone at 301-415-7233, or by Internet electronic
mail at [email protected]
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of December 1998.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Brenda Jo. Shelton,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
