Agencies and Commissions October 16, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing an exemption to the spent fuel storage requirements applicable to Zion Solutions, LLC. (hereafter, ZS or the applicant), general license to operate an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at the Zion Nuclear Power Station (ZNPS). ZS seeks approval to load MAGNASTOR storage casks (Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 72- 1031) in a different manner than permitted by any amendment to the MAGNASTOR CoC, but which the NRC has previously reviewed as a proposed amendment to that CoC. The applicant is currently loading storage casks and maintains that relief from requirements provides flexibility in operations, minimizes equipment runtime and repair, and minimizes personnel dose.

How often the collection is required: Submission of fundamental material control plans is a one-time requirement which has been completed by all current licensees as required. However, licensees may submit amendments or revisions to the plans as necessary. In addition, specified inventory and material status reports are required annually or semi-annually. Other reports are submitted as events occur. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons licensed under part 70 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) who possess and use certain forms and quantities of Special Nuclear Material (SNM). 7.

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 2, 2014. 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 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 report: Applicants and licensees for nuclear power and test reactors. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 2.3. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.3. 9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: Annually, 167,900 hours (73,000 per application x 2.3 applications). 10. Abstract: 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 and 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. Non-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.
