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

5. How often the collection is required: Required reports are

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.

recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 68.
9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
