NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. 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.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0158.
3. How often the collection is required: The collection would only
be required upon application for an exemption or when access to a non-
Federal low-level waste disposal facility is denied, which results in a
public health and safety and/or common defense and security concern.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Generators of low-level
waste who are denied access to a non-Federal low-level waste facility.
5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2 (No exemptions or
requests for emergency access has been recorded to date).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 233.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 62 sets out the information which must 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. 10 CFR part 62 also provides that the
Commission may grant an exemption from the requirements in this Part
upon application of an interested person or upon its own initiative.
Submit, by May 8, 2006 comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
