Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 10, 2017 / Notices
10. Abstract: Part 61 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
establishes the procedures, criteria, and
license terms and conditions for the
land disposal of low-level radioactive
waste. The reporting and recordkeeping
requirements are mandatory and, in the
case of application submittals, are
required to obtain a benefit. The
information collected in the
applications, reports, and records is
evaluated by the NRC to ensure that the
licensee’s or applicant’s disposal
facility, equipment, organization,
training, experience, procedures, and
plans provide an adequate level of
protection of public health and safety,
common defense and security, and the
environment.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the
information collection 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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day
of May, 2017.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief
Information Officer.
