OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF HIGH-LEVEL RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE IN GE0 LOGIC REPOSITORIES (10 CFR 60.62, 60.63, and 60.65) i Description of t% Information Collection Part 60 requires States and Indian Tribes to submit certain information to the NRC if they (1) request consultation with the NRC staff regarding review of a 3
potential repository site (60.62), or (2) wish to participate in a license review for a potential repository (60.63). Any person representing a State or l
Indian Tribe must also submit a statement of the basis of his or her authority to act in such representative capacity (60.65).
A.
JUSTIFICATION I
1.
Need for the Collection of Information. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) and 10 CFR Part 60 contain detailed provisions for the participation of States and Indian Tribes in the process of siting and developing a high-level radioactive waste geologic repository. The NRC must follow many formal procedures and detailed schedules in taeeting its responsibilities under the NWPA and 10 CFR Part 60.
10 CFR 60 does not require States and Indian Tribes to submit any proposals. This is strictly voluntary on their part, and only if they desire to do so would the information in question be required of them. The Director (of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards) must have complete information on State and India'n Tribal plans for participation in order to accommodate State and Tribal desires for participation while at the same time following mandated procedures and schedules.
In addition, where State and Tribal proposals for participation involve requests for funding, the justification for such requests must be documented in order to assure productive uses of NRC funds.
Section 60.62 states that the Director shall make NRC staff i
available to consult with representatives of States and affected Tribes regarding site review for an area approved by the President for site characterization. Section 60.62 also states that requests for consultation shall be made in writing to the Director. Only if States and Tribes wish to obtain these services would they be required to submit any suppo-ting information.
Making NRC staff available for consultation with representatives of States and affected Indian Tribes represents potentially a major commitment of NRC resources. The Director must have a firm basis for approving this commitment of resource:. A written request for consultation is the minimal requirement which could provide a firm basis for the commitment of NRC resources.
I l
2 l
Section 60.63 states that whenever an area has been approved by the President for site characterization, a State or an affected Indian Tribe may submit to the Director a proposal to facilitate its participation in the review of a site characterization plan and/or license application.
The proposal shall contain a description and schedule of how the State or affected Indian Tribe wishes to participate in the review, of what services or activities the State or affected Indian Tribe wishes NRC to carry out, and how the services or activities proposed to be carried out by NRC would contribute to such participation.
Section 60.65 states that any person who acts under this subpart (Subpart C) as a representative for a State (or for the Governor or legislature thereof) or for an affected Indian Tribe shall include in his request or other submission, or at the request of the Commission, a statement of the basis of his authority to act in such representative capacity.
Such a statement is necessary to assure NRC of the status of representatives. NRC must provide States and Indian Tribes numerous opportunities for participation in the site review and licensing i
procedures.
It is a common practice-for States and Indian Tribes to be represented by legal counsel in dealing with Federal agencies.
l NRC must be assured of the authority of persons it deals with to represent States or Indian Tribes to avoid potential duplication and/or failure to transmit information to appropriate sources.
l 2.
Agency Use of Information. The information requested will be reported to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards who has programmatic responsibility for NRC's high-level radioactive waste program.
It will be used by him to carry out requirements for States and Indian Tribes to participate in the siting and development of high-level radioactive. waste geologic repositories. The Director has established a mechanism in the Division of High-Level Waste Management within his office to deal with State and Indian Tribe participation. Staff resources are available to assure that reported information is used in a timely and useful fashion. NRC usually sets a time limit for review and action on funding requests of 60 days.
3.
Reduction of Burden Through Information Technology. The NRC foresees no opportunity to reduce the burden of information submittal through use of information technology.
Each submittal is unique, is made only once, and is unlikely to be developed from other compiled information sources.
3 4.
Effort to Identify Duplication.
The Federal Information Locator System was searched to determine NRC and other Federal agency duplication.
None was found, Although channels are established for States and Tribes to consult with DOE, these cannot substitute for direct interaction with NRC with respect to this agency's functions.
5.
Effort to Use Similar Information.
No other sources of similar information are available.
6.
Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden. No small businesses are affected by the information collection requirements, but some Indian Tribes might be considered small entities.
The NRC staff's established program to provide information exchange with States and Tribes could provide such Tribes with assistance in preparation of the requested information.
7.
Consequences of Less Frequent Collection. The information collection requirements apply only to a single submittal. There are no requirements for repetitious submittals.
8.
Circumstances Which Justify Variation From OMB Guidelines. There are no variations from OMB guidelines.
9.
Consultations Outside the NRC. The information submittal requirements were included in the proposed rule which lead to establishment of 10 CFR Part 60. All interested parties were given an opportunity to comment on these requirements.
- 10. Confidentiality of Information. NRC provides no pledge of confidentiality for this collection of information.
- 11. Justification for Sensitive Questions. The information submittal I
requirements include no information of a sensitive nature.
- 12. Estimated Annualized Cost to the Federal Government.
Section 60.62 involves NRC staff review of requests for consultation. This should require no more than 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of staff time per response. At $60 per hour for staff time, this would be no more than $2400 per respondent.
Section 60.63 involves NR; staff review of proposals for participation in site review and licensing procedures. This should require no more than 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of staff time. At $60 per hour, this would be no more than $2400 per respondent.
Section 60,65 involves NRC staff review of the statement of representation. This should require no more than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of staff time, or at $60 per hour, no more than $60 per respondent.

Costs are not anticipated to be recurrent and thus cannot reasonably be annualized. Rather, all costs are likely to be incurred within a year or two following selection of a repository site or submittal of a license application.
