comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information.
    If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons 
for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to 
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be 
publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should 
state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to 
remove such information before making the comment submissions available 
to the public or entering the comment submissions into ADAMS.

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: ``10 CFR part 100, 
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 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 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: 1.3.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1.3.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 94,900 hours (73,000 
hours per application x 1.3 applications).
    10. Abstract: ``10 CFR 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, 1997,'' requirements apply to 
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. 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. The NRC staff reviews the 
submitted information and, if necessary, generates 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?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
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 on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of August, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
