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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision/
Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 100, 
Appendix A, ``Seismic and Geologic Siting Criteria for Nuclear Power 
Plants.''
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. 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.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants and 
licensees for nuclear power plants.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 10,000.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. 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.
