be submitted one time.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: States or Indian 
Tribes, or their representatives, requesting consultation with the NRC

    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: An average of 40 hours per 
response for consultation requests, 80 hours per response for license 
application review participation proposals, and one hour per response 
for statements of representative authority. The total burden for all 
responses is estimated to be 242 hours.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR 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. Representatives of States or Indian Tribes must submit a 
statement of their 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.
