Abstract: 10 CFR Part 62 sets out the information which must be provided to the NRC by any low-level waste generator seeking emergency access to an operating low-level waste disposal facility. The information is required to allow NRC to determine if denial of disposal constitutes a serious and immediate threat to public health and safety or common defense and security. 10 CFR Part 62 also provides that the Commission may grant an exemption from the requirements in this Part upon application of an interested person or upon its own initiative.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated burden has increased by 6 hours from 227 hours to 233 hours because NRC only anticipates one request for exemptions under 10 CFR 62.5 during the next three years and therefore, the total burden for one exemption is 6 hrs, for one respondent is an estimated 227 hours, resulting in a total burden of 233 hrs. However, the burden cost for professional staff-hours increased from $197 to $238. The burden cost for administrative staff hours decreased from $82/hr to $47/hr.
