II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a renewal of an existing 
collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``Licensing 
Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, 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

[[Page 47779]]

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 June 15, 2017 (82 FR 27536).
    1. The title of the information collection: Licensing Requirements 
for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, 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: 839 (607 reporting 
responses + 150 third party disclosure responses + 82 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 82.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 79,040 
hours (33,909 hours reporting + 42,319 hours recordkeeping + 2,812

    10. Abstract: Part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), 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.
