Submitting Comments The NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal rulemaking website (https:// www.regulations.gov). Please include Docket ID NRC–2021–0107 in your comment submission. The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information in comment submissions that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. All comment submissions are posted at https:// www.regulations.gov/ and entered into ADAMS. Comment submissions are not routinely edited to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the OMB, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that comment submissions are not routinely edited to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. II. Background In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to request the OMB’s approval for the information collection summarized below. 1. The title of the information collection: Part 40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:54 Feb 17, 2022 Jkt 256001 ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Source Material.’’ 2. OMB approval number: 3150–0020. 3. Type of submission: Revision. 4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports required under 10 CFR part 40 are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. There is a one-time submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal applications need to be submitted every 15 to 40 years. Information in previous applications may be referenced without being resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or transfer of radioactive source material. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,341. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 582 (72 NRC licensees + 510 Agreement State licensees). 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 16,422 hours (11,284 hours reporting + 5,123 hours recordkeeping + 15 hours third party disclosure). 10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 40 establish procedures and criteria for the issuance of licenses to receive title to, receive, possess, use, transfer, or deliver source and byproduct material. The application, reporting, recordkeeping, and thirdparty notification requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination as to whether the possession, use, and transfer of source and byproduct material is in conformance with the Commission’s regulations for protection of public health and safety. III. Specific Requests for Comments The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection accurate? 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? Dated: February 15, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC issued an exemption (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML22007A271) to NEDA for the DAEC ISFSI. By letter dated October 21, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21294A280), as supplemented by letters dated December 10, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21344A186), and January 6, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22006A105), NEDA submitted a one-time exemption request to the NRC for the DAEC ISFSI, in accordance with section 72.7 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 (a)(2), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5)(i), (b)(11), and 72.214. Specifically, the one-time exemption request sought the NRC approval for a failed fuel can (FFC) and its contents at DAEC to exceed the limits specified in Table 1–1t in Appendix B, Technical Specifications, of NRC Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004, Renewed Amendment No. 17 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML21109A325). The granted exemption permits the DAEC ISFSI to deviate from a specific requirement contained in Table 1–1t in Appendix B of NRC CoC No. 1004, Renewed Amendment No. 17, by allowing NEDA to load a failed fuel assembly in an FCC, within a DAEC dry shielded canister (DSC) No. 30 fuel cell, where the combined weight of the failed fuel assembly plus the FCC exceeds the 705 lb limit. Under the exemption, the FCC and its contents may weigh a maximum of 800 lb. As a condition of this exemption, however, NEDA is required to leave at least two adjacent DSC fuel cells empty in its spent fuel pool off-load campaign to increase the available margin for weight. The NRC staff also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact regarding the renewal of the facility operating license, published in VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:54 Feb 17, 2022 Jkt 256001 the Federal Register on February 2, 2022 (87 FR 5847), and concluded that renewal of the facility operating license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC issued an exemption (ADAMS Package 
Accession No. ML22007A271) to NEDA for the DAEC ISFSI. By letter dated 
October 21, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21294A280), as supplemented by 
letters dated December 10, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21344A186), and 
January 6, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22006A105), NEDA submitted a 
one-time exemption request to the NRC for the DAEC ISFSI, in accordance 
with section 72.7 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), ``Specific exemptions,'' from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 
(a)(2), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5)(i), (b)(11), and 72.214. 
Specifically, the one-time exemption request sought the NRC approval 
for a failed fuel can (FFC) and its contents at DAEC to exceed the 
limits specified in Table 1-1t in Appendix B, Technical Specifications, 
of NRC Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004, Renewed Amendment No. 
17 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML21109A325).
    The granted exemption permits the DAEC ISFSI to deviate from a 
specific requirement contained in Table 1-1t in Appendix B of NRC CoC 
No. 1004, Renewed Amendment No. 17, by allowing NEDA to load a failed 
fuel assembly in an FCC, within a DAEC dry shielded canister (DSC) No. 
30 fuel cell, where the combined weight of the failed fuel assembly 
plus the FCC exceeds the 705 lb limit. Under the exemption, the FCC and 
its contents may weigh a maximum of 800 lb. As a condition of this 
exemption, however, NEDA is required to leave at least two adjacent DSC 
fuel cells empty in its spent fuel pool off-load campaign to increase 
the available margin for weight. The NRC staff also prepared an 
environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact regarding 
the renewal of the facility operating license, published in the Federal 
Register on February 2, 2022 (87 FR 5847), and concluded that renewal 
of the facility operating license will not have a significant impact on 
the quality of the human environment. An analysis of this exemption can 
be found at the previously cited ADAMS package accession number
