Please include Docket ID NRC–2018–

comment submission. The NRC will
post all comment submissions at https://
www.regulations.gov/ as well as enter
the comment submissions into ADAMS,
and the NRC does not routinely edit

If you are requesting or aggregating
comments from other persons for
submission to the NRC, then you should
inform those persons not to include

II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting
public comment on its intention to
request the OMB’s approval for the
information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information
collection: ‘‘NRC Forms 542 and 542A,
Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Manifest (Index and Regional Compact
Tabulation) and Continuation Page.’’
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0165.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable:
NRC Forms 542 and 542A.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: 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
respond: All NRC or Agreement State
low-level 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

jspears on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
for disposal at a low-level waste facility
must complete the appropriate forms.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 756.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 22.
Note that the NRC does not collect or
retain data on manifest forms and the
forms are not sent to or received by the
NRC. The estimates provided in items
seven and eight above are from the
previous form renewal Notice. The NRC
did not receive any public comment on
the previous renewal suggesting that
these estimates should be revised. NRC
is requesting comment on the accuracy
of these estimates in Section III of this
notice.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 567.
10. Abstract: NRC Forms 542 and
542A, 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 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 Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments
Act of 1985, so they can ensure that
waste is disposed of in the appropriate
Compact.
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?
