All comment submissions are posted at https:// www.regulations.gov and entered into ADAMS. Comment submissions are not routinely edited to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the OMB, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that comment submissions are not routinely edited to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. 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 541 and 541A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Container and Waste Description and Continuation Page. 2. OMB approval number: 3150–0166. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 541 and 541A. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: NRC Form 541 and 541A, or the Agreement State equivalent forms, are used by low-level radioactive waste (LLW) shippers when LLW is shipped. NRC Form 541/541A, combined with NRC Forms 540/540A and 542/542A, are collectively referred to as the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest forms. The disposal facilities and their Agreement State regulators, where applicable, use the information found on the forms to ensure waste disposal meets the requirements in part 61 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) for the protection of the public and environment. The NRC does not collect or retain data on the forms and the forms are not sent to or received by the NRC. NRC Form 541/541A and NRC Form 542/542A are (1) mailed or electronically transferred to the intended consignee prior to the shipment arriving at the consignee or (2) delivered with the waste to the consignee. NRC Form 540 and 540A are required to be with the shipment VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Aug 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 regardless of which of the above methods is chosen. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: NRC Form 541 and continuation Form 541A are completed by generators, collectors, and processors of LLW intended for ultimate disposal at a licensed land disposal facility. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4,616. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 712. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 15,233. 10. Abstract: The completed NRC Form 541 contains information needed to satisfy the waste manifesting requirements of the NRC’s 10 CFR part 20. NUREG/BR–0204, Rev. 3, contains instructions for completing NRC Forms 540, 540A, 541, 541A, 542, and 542A. The forms were originally developed by the NRC at the request of low-level waste industry groups. The forms are intended to provide uniformity and efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests which are required to control transfers of LLW intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. However, as stated in 10 CFR part 20, appendix G, ‘‘Licensees need not use originals of these NRC Forms as long as any substitute forms are equivalent to the original documentation in respect to content, clarity, size, and location of information. . . .’’ The NRC previously noticed the availability of revisions to the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Forms in the Federal Register on June 25, 2021 (86 FR 33783). The information collection contained in the current extension request does not include any material changes to the forms, except for: (1) changes to the Paperwork Reduction Act statement to indicate that licensees may use equivalent forms, and (2) the deletion of the expiration date. 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? Please explain your answer. 2. Is the estimate of the number of annual responses, the number of annual respondents, and the burden of the information collection accurate? Please explain your answer. 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48697 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: August 5, 2022.

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: 10 CFR part 37, 
Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of 
Radioactive Material.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0214.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 755, ``Advance 
Notification to the NRC of Shipments of Category 1 Quantities of 
Radioactive Material.''
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One time for 
initial compliance notifications and fingerprints for the reviewing 
officials; and as needed for implementation notifications, event 
notifications, notifications of shipments of radioactive material, and 
fingerprinting of new employees.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees that are 
authorized to possess and use category 1 or category 2 quantities of 
radioactive material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 101,479 Responses 
(4,704 Reporting + 1,400 Recordkeeping + 95,375 Third-Party 
Disclosure).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5,600 Respondents 
(1,140 Agreement State Licensees + 260 NRC licensees + 4,200 
Individuals making personal history disclosures under 37.23(d)).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 74,043 Hours (1,557 
Reporting + 23,989 Recordkeeping + 48,497 Third-Party Disclosure).
    10. Abstract: Part 37 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), contains security requirements for the use of 
category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. Licensees 
are required to: (1) Develop procedures for the implementation of the 
security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how 
security is being implemented; (3) implement security measures for the 
protection of the radioactive material; (4) conduct training on the 
procedures and security plan; (5) conduct background investigations for 
those individuals permitted unescorted access to category 1 or category 
2 quantities of radioactive material; (6) coordinate with Local Law 
Enforcement Agencies (LLEAs) so the LLEAs would be better prepared to 
respond in an emergency; and (7) conduct coordination activities before 
shipping category 2 radioactive material, and preplanning and 
coordination activities before shipping category 1 radioactive 
material. Licensees are required to promptly report any attempted or 
actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees are 
required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background 
investigation records, training records, and documentation associated 
with implementation of the security program. The NRC uses the 
information required by 10 CFR part 37 to fulfill its responsibilities 
to respond to, investigate, and correct situations that have the 
potential to adversely affect public health and safety or the common 
defense and security.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility? Please explain your answer.
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate? Please explain your answer.
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
