NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2012-0149]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently
submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection
of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby informs potential
respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The NRC
published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on
this information collection on August 1, 2012 (77 FR 45697).
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information collection: Part 60 of Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Disposal of High-Level
Radioactive Wastes in Geologic Repositories.''
3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0127.
4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
5. How often the collection is required: The information need only
be submitted one time.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: State or Indian tribes,
or their representatives, requesting consultation with the NRC staff
regarding review of a potential high-level radioactive waste geologic
repository site, or wishing to participate in a license application
review for a potential geologic repository (other than a potential
geologic repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which is regulated
under 10 CFR part 63).
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 1; however, none
are expected in the next 3 years.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1; however, none are
expected in the next 3 years.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 1 hour; however, none are expected
in the next 3 years.
10. Abstract: Part 60 requires States and Indian tribes to submit
certain information to the NRC if they request consultation with the
NRC staff concerning the review of a potential repository site, or wish
to participate in a license application review for a potential
repository (other than the Yucca Mountain, Nevada site, which is
regulated under 10 CFR part 63). Representatives of States or Indian
tribes must submit a statement of their
[[Page 70191]]
authority to act in such a representative capacity. The information
submitted by the States and 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. The NRC anticipates conducting
a public rulemaking to revise portions of 10 CFR part 60 in the near
future (i.e., within the next 5 years). If, as part of this rulemaking,
revisions are made affecting the information collection requirements,
the NRC will follow OMB requirements for obtaining approval for any
revised information collection requirements. [Note: All of the
information collection requirements pertaining to Yucca Mountain were
included in 10 CFR part 63, and were approved by OMB under control
number 3150-0199. The Yucca Mountain site is regulated under 10 CFR
part 63 (66 FR 55792, November 2, 2001).]
