5. How often the collection is required: Required reports are
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur;

(CoCs), and amendments may be submitted at anytime; applications for
renewal of licenses are required every 20 years for an Independent
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) or Certificate of Compliance
(CoC) and every 40 years for a Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS)
facility.
6. Who will be required or asked to report: Certificate holders of
casks for the storage of spent fuel; licensees and applicants for a CoC
or a license to possess power reactor spent fuel and other radioactive
materials associated with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI; and the

radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and high-level waste
storage in an MRS.
7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 370 (320
responses + 50 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 50.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 25,551 (22,781 hours for reporting
[71 hours per response] and 2,770 hours for recordkeeping [55 hours per
recordkeeper]).
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.
