which DOE uses to determine whether 

or not certain waste from the 

reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel is 

incidental to reprocessing and therefore 

is not HLW and can be managed as 

LLW. This process, in relevant part, 

requires demonstrating that: 

(1) Key radionuclides have been 

removed to the maximum extent that is 

technically and economically practical; 

(2) The waste will be managed to meet 

safety requirements comparable to the 

performance objectives set out in 10 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

61, subpart C, Performance Objectives; 

and 

(3) The waste will be managed, 

pursuant to DOE’s authority under the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and in accordance with the provisions 

of Chapter IV of DOE Manual 435.1–1, 

provided the waste will be incorporated 

in a solid physical form at a 

concentration that does not exceed the 

applicable concentration limits for Class 

C LLW as set out in 10 CFR 61.55, Waste 

Classification. 

The draft waste-incidental-toreprocessing evaluation summarizes 

DOE’s analysis and shows that the 

vessels: 

(1) Have had key radionuclides 

removed to the maximum extent 

technically and economically practical; 

(2) Will be managed to meet safety 

requirements comparable to the NRC 

performance objectives at 10 CFR part 

61, subpart C; and 

(3) Will be in a solid physical form 

that does not exceed concentration 

limits for Class C LLW and will be 

managed and disposed of pursuant to 

DOE’s authority under the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and in 

accordance with applicable provisions 

of Chapter IV of DOE Manual 435.1–1. 

Accordingly, the draft evaluation 

demonstrates using the wasteincidental-to-reprocessing evaluation 

process that the West Valley vessel 

waste packages may be managed and 

disposed of as LLW. The vessel waste 

packages will meet the applicable waste 

acceptance criteria for the selected 

offsite LLW disposal facility, either the 

NNSS Area 5 Radioactive Waste 

Management Site or the Waste Control 

Specialists Federal Facility Waste 

Disposal Facility in Texas. The vessel 

waste packages have been approved for 

disposal by the NNSS in case a final 

decision is made to send the waste 

package to that site for disposal. 

DOE is consulting with the NRC 

before finalizing this evaluation. 

Although not required by DOE Manual 

435.1–1, DOE is making the draft 

evaluation available for public and state 

review and comment during the NRC 

consultative review period. DOE plans 

to issue a final determination as to 

whether the vessels are HLW or can be 

managed and disposed of as LLW 

following review and consultation with 

the NRC and consideration of public 

and state comments. 

DOE’s decision on the disposal site to 

be used is not within the scope of this 

draft evaluation. Any DOE decision on 

the facility to which the vessel waste 

packages would be sent would be made 

after the final DOE evaluation and 

determination, following consideration 

of NRC and public comments on this 

draft evaluation, and after DOE confers 

with appropriate State officials in the 

state where the waste packages may be 

disposed.

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB 

review and comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance, a proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

proposed collection will enable a userbased evaluation of submitted entries to 

the Bright Tomorrow Lighting 

Competition (L Prize®) competition. The 

L Prize competition was authorized to 

encourage development and 

deployment of highly energy efficient 

solid-state lighting products. The 

proposed collection will assist in 

evaluating the entries in a real-world 

environment to insure that winning 

products do not exhibit undesirable or 

poor qualities that are not identified 

from formal laboratory testing by the 

DOE. These undesirable attributes could 

be a hindrance to sales of the winning 

product and could negatively impact the 

energy reduction potential of the 

competition. Additionally, the DOE 

wishes to gauge program success by 

periodically obtaining quantitative data 

about the effectiveness of the 

promotions and campaigns which are 

directly tied to L Prize winners. The 

quantitative data will be a survey asking 

five qualitative questions about the 

occupant’s overall satisfaction of the 

lights. The brief assessments will be 

collected by the site’s partner sponsor 

and returned, along with the entrant 

lamps, to DOE at the conclusion of the 

field assessment. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

July 30, 2012. If you anticipate that you 

will be submitting comments, but find 

it difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, please 

advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of 

your intention to make a submission as 

soon as possible. The Desk Officer may 

be telephoned at 202–395–4650. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Bright 

Tomorrow Lighting Competition (L 

Prize®): Field Assessment and Post 

Prize Monitoring; (3) Type of Request: 

New collection; (4) Purpose: The Bright 

Tomorrow Lighting Competition was 

authorized in the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), 

Subtitle E, Section 655, to encourage 

development and deployment of highly 

energy efficient solid-state lighting 

(SSL) products to replace several of the 

most common lighting products 

currently used in the United States. 

Field assessments contribute to the 

evaluation of L Prize entries in a wide 

range of lighting applications. 

The field assessments evaluate energy 

use of the installed product, the lighting 

system performance compared to the 

existing technology, and user feedback. 

The objective of field testing is to obtain 

installation data and user acceptance, in 

order to evaluate the product and 

determine its potential to be declared a 

winner. Additionally, DOE plans to 

monitor the impact of the L Prize 

competition through post-prize 

monitoring of incentive programs, 

educational campaigns, and retail 

promotions. This monitoring will 

include measuring the number of 

customers reached, bulbs sold, energy 

savings, and other tangible benefits.; (5) 

Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 526; (6) Annual Estimated
