NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (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 current valid OMB control number.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 61--
Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Applications for licenses 
are submitted as needed. Other reports are submitted annually and as 
other events require.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and 
holders of an NRC license (to include Agreement States) for land 
disposal of low-level radioactive waste, and all generators, 
collectors, and processors of low-level waste intended for disposal at 
a low-level waste facility.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 16 (12 Agreement State 
responses + 4 Agreement State recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.
    8. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: 5,412 hours (56 hours for reporting 
[approximately 4.6 hours per response] and 5,356 hours for 
recordkeeping [approximately 1,339 hours per recordkeeper]).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: Part 61 establishes the procedures, criteria, and 
license terms and conditions for the land disposal of low-level 
radioactive waste. Reporting and recordkeeping requirements are 
mandatory or, in the case of application submittals, are required to 
obtain a benefit. The information collected in the applications, 
reports, and records is evaluated by the NRC to ensure that the 
licensee's or applicant's physical plant, equipment, organization, 
training, experience, procedures, and plans provide an adequate level 
of protection of public health and safety, common defense and security, 
and the environment.
