    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: 68.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 62,692 hours (26,106 reporting + 33,416 recordkeeping +

    7. 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

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
