II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled,
``Tribal Participation in the Advance Notification Program.'' The NRC
hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on October 17, 2024, 89 FR 83707.
1. The title of the information collection: Tribal Participation in
the Advance Notification Program.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0250.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Information
would be requested: (1) every 5 years, (2) after an Indian Tribe
achieves Federal recognition, (3) when a transportation route is NRC-
approved that passes within or across an Indian Tribe's reservation
boundaries, and (4) when there are changes. Information is requested
from those Indian Tribes seeking to receive advance notifications. Some
information is requested one time.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Federally recognized
Indian Tribes. Only those Federally recognized Indian Tribes with
reservations and either receiving or seeking to receive the advance
notifications would be asked to respond to the specific information
request.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 20 (7 reporting
responses + 13 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 13.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 37.5 hours (21 reporting
+ 16.5 recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: In order to receive notification of certain shipments
of irradiated reactor fuel and/or nuclear waste within or across the
boundary of an Indian Tribe's reservation, Tribes shall affirmatively
opt into the advance notification program. Because the notification may
contain Safeguards Information (SGI), the Tribal official will submit
certification that the Tribal official or their designee(s) has
completed NRC-provided training on the handling of SGI and has the
necessary protection measures in place for implementation. The Tribal
official will provide contact information for the designee(s) and
emergency response contact(s). The Tribal official will also provide
confirmation of the reservation boundaries or the necessary corrections
to a map provided by the NRC. The NRC makes this information available
to others, including NRC licensees. NRC licensees will use the
information to comply with the NRC's regulations that require them to
provide advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive material to
participating Tribes.
