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.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Certificate holders 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

storage in an MRS.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 68.
