Under the provisions of the

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

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

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.

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement

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. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
