NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection.

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

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 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Parts 20 and 61, 
Low-Level Waste Shipment Manifest Information and Reporting.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Forms 540 and 540A, 541 and 
541A, and 542 and 542A.
    4. How often the collection is required: Quarterly reporting or 
less to the NRC depending upon specific license conditions. Forms are 
used whenever, low-level waste is shipped.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All NRC licensed low-
level waste facilities. All generators, collectors, processors of low-
level waste intended for disposal at a low-level waste facility must 
complete the appropriate forms.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses:

For the Rule: 12,068
For NRC Form 540: 8,000
For NRC Form 541: 8,000
For NRC Form 542: 600

    7. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: For the final rule, approximately 12,548 
hours (1.04 hours per response). For the NRC Forms, approximately 
53,100 hours: NRC Form 540--9,380 hours (1.17 hours per response); NRC 
Form 541--43,463 hours (5.43 hours per response), and NRC Form 542--260 
hours (0.43 hours per response).
    8. An indication of whether Section 3504(h), Pub. L. 96-511 
applies: Applicable.
    9. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR Parts 20 and 61 to improve low-level waste (LLW) 
shipment manifest information and reporting. The final rule and new 
forms will: (1) Improve the quality and uniformity of information 
contained on manifests that are required to control transfers of low-
level radioactive waste ultimately intended for disposal at a land 
disposal facility; (2) establish a set of NRC forms, that serves as a 
national Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest, and captures the 
information needed to meet NRC, DOT, State and Compacts information 
requirements; (3) require LLW disposal site operators to electronically 
store container-specific manifest information; and (4) require disposal 
site operators to be capable of submitting reports of stored manifest 
information on a computer-readable medium (e.g., magnetic disks or 
tapes).
    Copies of the submittal may be inspected or obtained for a fee from 
the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W. (Lower Level),
