They document container details, physical/chemical characteristics, radionuclide content, and waste classification for low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) shipments destined for licensed disposal facilities. The forms must be completed by waste generators, collectors, and processors. This is a routine three-year extension with no changes to the forms or requirements. The NRC estimates 712 respondents will submit 4,616 responses annually, requiring 15,233 burden hours in total.
