II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``10 
CFR [Code of Federal Regulations] Part 62, Criteria and Procedures for 
Emergency Access to Non-Federal and Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal 
Facilities.'' 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 April 24, 2018 (83 FR 18353).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 62, 
``Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and 
Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0143.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Part 62 of 10 CFR sets 
out the information that 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. Part 62 of 10 CFR 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.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 2.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 233.
    10. Abstract: Part 62 of 10 CFR sets out the information that 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. Part 62 of 10 CFR 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.
