I. Background
The May 2012 CPS Disability
Supplement will be conducted at the
request of the Department of Labor’s
Office of Disability Employment Policy.
The Disability Supplement will provide
information on the low labor force
participation rates for people with
disabilities; the use of and satisfaction
with programs that prepare people with
disabilities for employment; the work
history, barriers to employment, and
workplace accommodations reported by
persons with a disability; and the effect
of financial assistance programs on the
likelihood of working.
Because the Disability Supplement is
part of the CPS, the same detailed
demographic information collected in
the CPS will be available about
respondents to the supplement. Thus,
comparisons will be possible across
respondent characteristics, including
sex, race, age, and educational
attainment. It will also be possible to
create estimates for those who are
employed, unemployed, and not in the
labor force. Because the CPS is such a
rich source of information on the
employment status of the population, it
will be possible to examine in detail the
nature of various employment and
unemployment situations.
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
OWCP administers the Longshore and
Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
(LHWCA). The Act provides benefits to
workers injured in maritime
employment on the navigable waters of
the United States or in an adjoining area
customarily used by an employer in
loading, unloading, repairing, or
building a vessel. In addition, several
acts extend the Longshore Act’s
coverage to certain other employees.
Pursuant to section 914(d) of the
Longshore Act, and 20 CFR 702.251, if
an employer controverts the right to
compensation, he/she shall file with the
district director in the affected
compensation district on or before the
fourteenth day after he/she has
knowledge of the alleged injury or
death, a notice, in accordance with a
form prescribed by the Secretary, stating
that the right to compensation is
controverted. Form LS–207 has been
designated for this purpose. Form LS–
207 is used by insurance carriers and
self-insured employers to controvert
claims under the Longshore Act and
extensions. The information is used by
OWCP district offices to determine the
basis for not paying benefits in a case.
This information collection is currently

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC–2011–0131]
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Review; Comment Request
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation
of public comment.
AGENCY:
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 ×
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. Nonseismic 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.
The public may examine and have
copied for a fee publicly, available
documents, including the final
supporting statement, at the NRC’s
Public Document Room, One White
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room

OMB clearance requests are available at
the NRC Web site: https://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 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.
