Information Collection: NRC Forms 542 and 542A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Index and Regional Compact Tabulation and Continuation Page
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking renewal of OMB approval for NRC Forms 542 and 542A. These forms are part of the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest system and are used by waste collectors and waste processors to document and attribute low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) to the original generator. The forms support regional compact tabulation requirements under the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985. They are required when shipping LLRW for disposal at licensed facilities and can be sent electronically or by mail prior to shipment or delivered with the waste. This is an extension of an existing information collection with no changes to the forms. The NRC estimates 71 annual respondents, 623 annual responses, and 467 burden hours per year.
