Information Collection: NRC Forms 541 and 541A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Container and Waste Description) and Continuation Page, 31931-31932 [2019-14168]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 3, 2019 / Notices 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:23 Jul 02, 2019 Jkt 247001 automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of June, 2019. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Kristen E. Benney, Acting NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
