This clearance is necessary since the NRC is expecting approximately two COL, one CP, and one OL application over the next 3 years. The applicants must provide information regarding the physical characteristics of the site in addition to the potential for natural phenomena and man-made hazards. This includes information on meteorological hazards (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, snowfall, and extreme temperatures), hydrologic hazards (such as floods, tsunami, and seiches) geologic hazards (such as faulting, seismic hazards, and the maximum credible earthquake) and factors such as population density, the proximity of man-related hazards, and site hydrological and atmospheric dispersion characteristics.

II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Reactor Site Criteria.'' 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 August 9, 2017, (82 FR 37241).

    10. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 
100, ``Reactor Site Criteria,'' establish approval requirements for 
proposed sites for the purpose of constructing and operating stationary 
power and testing reactors. Subpart B, ``Evaluation Factors for 
Stationary Power Reactor Site Applications on or After January 10,

necessary since the NRC is expecting approximately two COL, one CP, and 
one OL application over the next 3 years. The applicants must provide
