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. The NRC 
published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period on 
this information collection on June 9, 2011.

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 anytime; 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 report: 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.

reporting responses + 153 third party disclosure responses + 68 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 68.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 62,692 hours (26,106 reporting +
