3. 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. 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.
4. Who is 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.
5. The number of annual respondents: 76.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 69,065.7 hours (27,630.7 reporting + 38,683.0 recordkeeping
