II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of 
information to OMB for review entitled, ``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 December 23, 2020, (85 FR 
84012).
    1. The title of the information collection: Part 62 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``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: Extension.
    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: 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 or 
an exemption from the requirements in 10 CFR part 62.
    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: 10 CFR part 62 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. 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.
