SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a 

submittal to OMB for review of 

continued approval of information

U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Information pertaining to the 

requirement to be submitted: 

1. The title of the information 

collection: 10 CFR Part 63, ‘‘Disposal of 

High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a 

Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca 

Mountain, Nevada.’’

2. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0199. 

3. How often the collection is 

required: One time. 

4. Who is required or asked to report: 

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. 

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 requests, 80 

hours per response for license

proposals, and one hour per response 

for statements of representative

7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 63 requires 

the State of Nevada, local governments, 

or affected Indian Tribes to submit 

certain information to the NRC if they 

request consultation with the NRC staff 

concerning the review of the potential 

repository site, or wish to participate 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 NRC staff resources 

to the consultation and participation 

efforts. 

Submit, by July 9, 2007, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology?
