3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable:
Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: Required reports are
collected and evaluated on a continuing
basis as events occur; submittal of
reports varies from less than one per
year under some rule sections to up to
an average of about 80 per year under
other rule sections. Applications for
new licenses, certificates of compliance
(CoCs), and amendments may be
submitted at any time; applications for
renewal of licenses are required every
40 years for an independent spent fuel
storage installation (ISFSI) or CoC
effective May 21, 2011, and every 40
years for a monitored retrievable storage
(MRS) facility.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Certificate holders and
applicants for a CoC for spent fuel
storage casks; licensees and applicants
for a license to possess power reactor
spent fuel and other radioactive
materials associated with spent fuel
storage in an ISFSI; and the Department
of Energy for licenses to receive,
transfer, package and possess power
reactor spent fuel, high-level waste, and
other radioactive materials associated
with spent fuel and high-level waste
storage in an MRS.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 858.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 89.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 78,466.
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 72,
establishes mandatory requirements,

of licenses to receive, transfer, and
possess power reactor spent fuel and
other radioactive materials associated
with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI, as
well as requirements for the issuance of
licenses to the Department of Energy to
receive, transfer, package, and possess
power reactor spent fuel and high-level
radioactive waste, and other associated
radioactive materials in an MRS. The
information in the applications, reports,

II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the NRC is requesting
public comment on its intention to
request the OMB’s approval for the
information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information
collection: Reactor Site Criteria.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0093.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable:
Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: 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
small modular reactors (SMRs) and/or
non-light water reactors (LWRs)
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.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Applicants who apply for an
early site permit (ESP), combined
license (COL) or a construction permit
(CP) or operating license (OL) on or after
January 10, 1997.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 13.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 13.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:44 Apr 04, 2024
Jkt 262001
information collection requirement or
request: 482,412 hours.
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 100,
‘‘Reactor Site Criteria,’’ establishes
approval requirements for proposed
sites for the purpose of constructing and
operating stationary SMRs and/or nonLWRs. Subpart B, ‘‘Evaluation Factors
for Stationary Power Reactor Site
Applications on or After January 10,
1997,’’ requirements apply to applicants
who apply for an ESP, COL or a CP or
OL on or after January 10, 1997. This
clearance is necessary since the NRC is
expecting approximately 8 SMR and/or
non-LWR siting applications 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 (e.g.,
airports, dams, transportation routes,
military and chemical facilities), and
site hydrological and atmospheric
dispersion characteristics. The NRC staff
reviews the submitted information and,
if necessary, may generate a request for
additional information. The staff meets
with the applicant and conducts a site
visit to resolve any open issues. When
the open issues have been resolved, the
staff writes the final safety evaluation
report, which is published and used as
a basis for the remainder of the NRC
licensing process.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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?
Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the
information collection accurate? Please
explain your answer.
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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
