existing information collection that is summarized below. We are

``Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and
Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities.''

3. How often the collection is required: The collection would only
be required upon application for a Commission emergency access
determination when access to a non-Federal or regional low-level waste
disposal facility is denied, which results in an immediate public
health and safety and/or common defense and security concern.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Generators of low-level
radioactive waste, or the Governor of a State on behalf of any
generator or generators located in his or her State who are denied

regional LLW disposal facility pursuant to 10 CFR part 62.
5. The number of annual respondents: 1.

7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 62 sets out the information which must be
provided to the NRC by any low-level waste generator or Governor of a
State on behalf of generators seeking emergency access to an operating
low-level waste disposal facility. The information is required to allow
the 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.
