Download as PDF 39382 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2019 / Notices khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES 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: Tribal Participation in the Advance Notification Program. 2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been assigned to this proposed information collection. 3. Type of submission: New. 4. The form number, if applicable: Not Applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Information would be requested (1) every five years, (2) after an Indian Tribe achieves Federal recognition, (3) when a transportation route is approved that is within an Indian Tribe’s reservation or that crosses a reservation boundary, and (4) when there are changes. Information is requested from those Indian Tribes seeking to receive advance notifications. Some information is requested one time. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Federally recognized Indian Tribes. Only those federally recognized Indian Tribes with reservations and either receiving or seeking to receive the advance notifications would be asked to respond to the specific information request. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 22 (7 reporting responses + 15 recordkeepers). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 15. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 36 (26 hours reporting + 10 hours recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: In order to receive notifications when certain shipments of nuclear waste or shipments of irradiated reactor fuel within or across the boundary of an Indian Tribe’s reservation, Indian Tribes will submit certifications that Tribal official or their designee(s) has (or have) taken training on the handling of safeguards information (SGI) and the Indian Tribe has the necessary protection measures in place and the Indian Tribe will protect the SGI. If the Tribal official is designating another person to receive the advance notifications, information on the designation will be provided. The Indian Tribe will also provide the contact information for the Tribal official or the Tribal official’s designee(s). The Indian Tribe will also VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:34 Aug 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 provide an affirmation of the boundaries of the Indian Tribe’s reservation or the necessary corrections to a map provided by the NRC. The NRC will also collect the name and contact information for the Indian Tribe’s emergency response contact(s). NRC licensees will use the information to comply with the NRC’s regulations that require them to provide advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive material to participating Indian Tribes. 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?
