    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: An average of 40 hours per

repository site, or wish to participate in a license application review 
for the potential repository. Representatives of the State of Nevada or 
Indian Tribes must submit a statement of their authority to act in such 
a representative capacity. The information submitted by the State and
