-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 72, 
Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear 
Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste (3150-0132).
    3. The form number if applicable: NA.
    4. How often the collection is required: 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 100 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 would be required every 20 years for an Independent 
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and every 40 years for a 
Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility. Application for renewal 
of a CoC would be required every 20 years.
    5. Who is required or asked to report: Certificate holders of casks 
for the storage of spent fuel, 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.
    6. The estimated number of annual responses: 201.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 33.
    8. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 41,283 hours (27,777 hours for reporting plus 13,506 hours 
for recordkeeping) or approximately 1,251 hours per respondent.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: NA
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 72 establishes 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, and 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. The 
revised estimate of burden reflects and increase primarily because of 
live rulemakings completed (and approved by OMB) since the last
