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, 
``Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and 
Regional Low-Level 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 1, 2014 (79 FR 
71133).
    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: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: The 
collection would only be required upon application for a Commission 
emergency access determination when access to a non-Federal or regional 
Low-Level Waste Disposal facility is denied, which results in an 
immediate public health and safety and/or common defense and security 
concern.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Generators of Low-
Level Radioactive Waste, or the Governor of a State on behalf of any 
generator or generators located in his or her State who are denied 
access to a Non-Federal or regional low-level radioactive wastes and 
who wish to request emergency access for disposal of Non-Federal or 
regional Low-Level Waste Disposal facility pursuant to part 62 of Title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).

    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1.
    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 sets out the information which 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 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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of April 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
