Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Review; Comment Request
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation
of public comment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has recently
submitted to OMB for review the
following proposal for the collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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
July 9, 2013 (78 FR 41116).
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information
collection: NRC Forms 540 and 540A,
Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Manifest (Shipping Paper) and
Continuation Page; NRC Forms 541 and
541A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Manifest, Container and Waste
Description, and Continuation Page;
NRC Forms 542 and 542A, Uniform
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest,
Index and Regional Compact
Tabulation, and Continuation Page.
3. Current OMB approval number:
NRC Form 540 and 540A: OMB
#3150–0164.
NRC Form 541 and 541A: OMB
#3150–0166.
NRC Form 542 and 542A: OMB
#3150–0165.
4. The form number if applicable:
NRC Form 540 and 540A.
NRC Form 541 and 541A.
NRC Form 542 and 542A.
5. How often the collection is
required: Forms are used by shippers

whenever radioactive waste is shipped.
Quarterly or less frequent reporting is
made to Agreement States depending on
specific license conditions. No reporting
is made to the NRC.
6. Who will be required or asked to
report: All NRC or Agreement State lowlevel waste facilities licensed pursuant
to Part 61 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) or
equivalent Agreement State regulations.
All generators, collectors, and
processors of low-level waste intended
for disposal at a low-level waste facility
must complete the appropriate forms.
7. An estimate of the number of
annual responses:
NRC Form 540 and 540A: 5,740.
NRC Form 541 and 541A: 5,600.
NRC Form 542 and 542A: 756.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents:
NRC Form 540 and 540A: 220.
NRC Form 541 and 541A: 220.
NRC Form 542 and 542A: 22.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request:
NRC Form 540 and 540A: 4,305.
NRC Form 541 and 541A: 18,480.
NRC Form 542 and 542A: 567.
10. Abstract: NRC Forms 540, 541,
and 542, together with their
continuation pages, designated by the A
suffix, provide a set of standardized
forms to meet Department of
Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State
requirements. The forms were
developed by NRC at the request of lowlevel waste industry groups. The forms
provide uniformity and efficiency in the
collection of information contained in
manifests which are required to control
transfers of low-level radioactive waste
intended for disposal at a land disposal
facility. The NRC Form 540 contains
information needed to satisfy DOT
shipping paper requirements in 49 CFR
Part 172, and the waste tracking
requirements of the NRC in 10 CFR Part
20. The NRC Form 541 contains
information needed by disposal site
facilities to safely dispose of low-level
waste and information to meet NRC and
State requirements regulating these
activities. The NRC Form 542,
completed by waste collectors or
processors, contains information which
facilitates tracking the identity of the
waste generator. That tracking becomes
more complicated when the waste
forms, dimensions, or packaging are
changed by the waste processor. Each
container of waste shipped from a waste
processor may contain waste from
several different generators. The
information provided on the NRC Form
542 permits the States and Compacts to
know the original generators of low-

level waste, as authorized by the LowLevel Radioactive Waste Policy
Amendments Act of 1985, so they can
ensure that waste is disposed of in the
appropriate Compact.
