Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

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

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

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: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 62--
``Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and 
Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities''.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Requests are made only 
when access to a non-federal low-level waste disposal facility is 
denied, which results in a threat to public health and safety and/or 
common defense and security.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Generators of low-level 
waste who are denied access to a non-federal low-level waste facility.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: No requests for 
emergency access have been received to date. It is estimated that up to 
one request would be made every three years.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: No requests for 
emergency access have been received to date. It is estimated that up to 
one request would be made every three years.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 680 hours once every three years, 
or 227 annually.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 62 sets out the information which will 
have to be provided to the NRC by any low-level waste generator seeking 
emergency access to an operating low-level waste disposal facility. The 
information is required to allow NRC to determine if denial of disposal 
constitutes a serious and immediate threat to public health and safety 
or common defense and security.
