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: ``NRC 
Forms 540 and 540A, `Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest 
(Shipping Paper) and Continuation Page.' '' 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 June 22, 2016 (81 FR 40728).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Forms 540 and 
540A, `Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper) 
and Continuation Page.' ''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0164.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 540 and 540A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Forms are 
used by shippers whenever radioactive waste is shipped. Quarterly or 
less frequent reporting is made to Agreement States depending on 
specific license conditions. No reporting is made to the NRC.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All NRC or Agreement 
State low-level waste facilities licensed pursuant to part 61 of title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) or equivalent Agreement 
State regulations. All generators, collectors, and processors of low-
level waste intended for disposal at a low-level waste facility must 
complete the appropriate forms.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 5,740.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 220.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 4,305.
    10. Abstract: NRC Forms 540 and 540A provide a set of standardized 
forms to meet Department of Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State 
requirements. The forms were developed by NRC at the request of low-
level waste industry groups. The forms provide uniformity and 
efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests 
which are required to control transfers of low-level radioactive waste 
intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. The NRC Form 540 
contains information needed to satisfy DOT shipping paper requirements 
in 49 CFR part 172, and the waste tracking requirements of the NRC in 
10 CFR part 20.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of November, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
