Part 63 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
requires the State of Nevada, local governments, or affected Indian tribes to submit information to the NRC that describes their request for any consultation with the NRC staff concerning review of the potential repository site or NRCâs facilitation for their participation in a license application review for the potential repository. Representatives of the State of Nevada, local governments, or affected Indian tribes must submit a statement of their authority to act in such a representative capacity. The information submitted by the State of Nevada, local governments, or affected Indian tribes is used by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards as a basis for decisions about the commitment of the NRC staff resources to the consultation and participation efforts.
The burden has increased from 726 hours to 1,452 hours due to an increase from six to 12 in the number of respondents. The increase is based on comments received stating that there would be an increase in requests for assistance due to the number of admitted parties and the long period of time that the licensing proceeding has been suspended. The cost per hour decreased slightly from $272 to $265, however, the increase in the number of respondents resulted in an overall increase in the cost.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
