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 State licensees) 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. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are 
mandatory and, 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 disposal facility, 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.

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?
