geologic repository site, or wishing to participate in a license 
application review for the potential geologic repository.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 3.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 363 (An average of 40 hours per response for consultation

    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 63 requires the State of Nevada, local 
governments, or affected Indian Tribes to submit certain information to 
the NRC if they request consultation with the NRC staff concerning the 
review of the potential repository site, or wish to participate in a 
license application review for the potential repository. 
Representatives of the State of Nevada, local governments, or affected 
Indian Tribes must submit a statement of their authority to act in such 
a representative capacity. The information submitted by the State, 
local governments, and affected Indian Tribes is used by the Director 
of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards as a basis for 
decisions about the commitment of NRC staff resources to the 
consultation and participation efforts.

to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?

    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
