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 63, 
``Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Geologic Repository at 
Yucca Mountain, Nevada.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0199.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: The State of Nevada, 
local governments, or affected Indian tribes, or their representatives, 
requesting consultation with the NRC staff regarding review of the 
potential high-level waste geologic repository site, or wishing to 
participate in a license application review for the potential geologic 
repository.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 6.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 6.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 726.

facilitation for their participation in a license application review 
for the potential repository. Representatives of the State of Nevada, 
local governments, or affected Indian tribes must submit a statement of 
their authority to act in such a representative capacity. The 
information submitted by the State, local governments, and affected 
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 
the NRC staff resources to the consultation and participation efforts.

    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
