(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR 100, Appendix A, 
``Seismic and Geologic Siting Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0093.
    3. How often the collection is required: As necessary in order for 
NRC to assess the adequacy of proposed seismic design bases and the 
design bases for other geological hazards for nuclear power plants 
constructed and licensed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50 and the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants and licensees for 
nuclear power plants.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 2.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 10,000.
    7. Abstract: Utilities that propose to build and operate nuclear 
power plants are required to design, construct, and maintain those 
plants 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. NRC uses the information 
required by 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, to assess the adequacy of 
proposed seismic design bases and the design bases for other geological 
hazards for nuclear power plants.
    Submit, by February 20, 1996, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
