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, 
``Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Geologic Repository at 
Yucca Mountain, Nevada.'' 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 May 31, 2017 (82 FR 25015).
    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: 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: 12.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 12.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 1,452.
    10. Abstract: Part 63 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, requires the State of Nevada, local governments, or 
affected Indian tribes to submit information to the NRC that describes 
their request for any consultation with the NRC staff concerning review 
of the potential repository site or NRC's 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 of Nevada, local governments, or 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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of September 2017.
