SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of

    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?
