Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.''

    3. How often the collection is required: One time.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: The State of Nevada, local

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.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 3.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 363 (An average of 40 hours per response for consultation

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

decisions about the commitment of NRC staff resources to the 
consultation and participation efforts.
