NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the
[[Page 65246]]
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
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. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0143.
3. How often the collection is required: Requests are made only
when access to a non-federal low-level waste disposal facility is
denied, which results in a threat to public health and safety and/or
common defense and security.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Generators of low-level
waste who are denied access to a non-federal low-level waste facility.
5. The number of annual respondents: No requests for emergency
access have been received to date. It is estimated that up to one
request would be made every three years.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: It is estimated that 680 hours would be required to review
the request, or approximately 227 hours per year.
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 62 sets out the information which will
have to be provided to the NRC by any low-level waste generator seeking
emergency access to an operating low-level waste disposal facility. The
information is required to allow NRC to determine if denial of disposal
constitutes a serious and immediate threat to public health and safety
or common defense and security.
Submit, by February 10, 1997, comments that address the following
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?
