II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 61--
Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0135.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Applications 
for licenses are submitted as needed. Other reports are submitted 
annually and as other events require.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and 
holders of an NRC license (to include Agreement State licensees) for 
land disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 16 (12 reporting 
responses + 4 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the

    10. Abstract: Part 61 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), establishes the procedures, criteria, and license 
terms and conditions for the land disposal of low-level radioactive 
waste. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are mandatory and, 
in the case of application submittals, are required to obtain a 
benefit. The information collected in the applications, reports, and 
records is evaluated by the NRC to ensure that the licensee's or 
applicant's disposal facility, equipment, organization, training, 
experience, procedures, and plans provide an adequate level of 
protection of public health and safety, common defense and security, 
and the environment.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection 
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 on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?
