Abstract: 10 CFR Part 61 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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden for this information collection has decreased by 40 hours, from 5,412 hours to 5,372 hours. This decrease is due to a correction in the way the burden for requirements 61.30(a)(3) and 61.31(c)(3) is accounted for. 61.30(a)(3) requires that records be transferred to the site owner at the transfer of the license. 61.31(c)(3) requires that records be transferred to the party responsible for institutional control of the disposal site at license termination. Previously, these requirements were counted as annual recordkeeping burden (40 hours). In this renewal, the requirements are correctly identified as third-party disclosures that only occur at license transfer or termination. Because no license transfers or terminations are anticipated during the three-year clearance period, there is no burden for these requirements (0 hours).
