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,
``Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear
Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste and Reactor-Related Greater than
Class C Waste.'' 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 April 5, 2024, 89 FR 24043.
1. The title of the information collection: Licensing Requirements
for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level
Radioactive Waste and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0132.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Required
reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events
occur; submittal of reports varies from less than one per year under
some rule sections to up to an average of about 80 per year under other
rule sections. Applications for new licenses, certificates of
compliance (CoCs), and amendments may be submitted at any time;
applications for renewal of licenses are required every 40 years for an
independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) or CoC effective
May 21, 2011, and every 40 years for a monitored retrievable storage
(MRS) facility.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Certificate holders
and applicants for a CoC for spent fuel storage casks; licensees and
applicants for a license to possess power reactor spent fuel and other
radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI;
and the Department of Energy for licenses to receive, transfer, package
and possess power reactor spent fuel, high-level waste, and other
radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and high-level waste
storage in an MRS.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 858.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 89.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 78,466.
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 72, establishes mandatory requirements,
procedures, and criteria for the issuance of licenses to receive,
transfer, and possess power reactor spent fuel and other radioactive
materials associated with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI, as well as
requirements for the issuance of licenses to the Department of Energy
to receive, transfer, package, and possess power reactor spent fuel and
high-level radioactive waste, and other associated radioactive
materials in an MRS. The information in the applications, reports, and
records is used by NRC to make licensing and other regulatory
determinations.
Dated: July 31, 2024.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
