Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (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:
[[Page 18008]]
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 61--
Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0135.
3. How often the collection is required: Applications for licenses
are submitted as needed. Other reports are submitted annually and as
other events require.
4. Who is 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.
5. The number of annual respondents: 4.
6. 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]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR 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.
Submit, by June 2, 2008, 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?
