Abstract:
10 CFR 72, License and Certificate of Compliance Terms, Final Rule The final rule amends Part 72 to clarify the terms for dry spent fuel storage cask designs, or Certificates of Compliance (CoCs), and independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) licenses. Specifically, the final rule changes allow for longer initial and renewal terms for Part 72 CoCs and licenses, clarify the general license storage term, and clarify the difference between CoC approval and renewal. In addition, the final rule also allows Part 72 general licensees to implement changes authorized by an amended CoC to a cask loaded under the initial CoC or an earlier amended CoC (a previously loaded cask) without express NRC approval, provided the cask then conforms to the terms, conditions, and specifications of the amended CoC. Specifically, the final rule results in changes to information collection requirements in §§ 72.42, 72.212, and 72.240.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The final rule results in a total burden hour decrease of 38 hours. This decrease is due to the following: Reporting: The rule adds reporting requirements totaling 90 hours annually, including requirements to conduct aging analyses for license renewal applications, register the use of each cask within 30 days, register the use of each cask when applying changes authorized by an amended CoC, and submit a SAR with cask design renewal applications. The rule also reduces the reporting burden by 160 hours by decreasing the number of exemptions sought by licensees under § 72.7 as a result of the new rule language in § 72.212(b)(4) allowing licensees to apply changes authorized by an amended CoC to a previously loaded cask. Previously, licensees seeking to apply changes authorized by an amended CoC would have had to seek an exemption. The total reporting burden change is a decrease of 70 hours (+90 hours 160 hours = -70 hours). Recordkeeping: The rule adds recordkeeping requirements totaling 32 hours, including time to keep records of written evaluations performed prior to applying the changes authorized by an amended CoC to a previously loaded cask and evaluations of site parameter changes, as well as to maintain copies of amended CoCs. Therefore, the final rule overall results in an annual net savings to the industry of 38 hours or $9,766 (-70 reporting burden hours + 32 recordkeeping burden hours / $17,990 reporting burden savings + $8,224 recordkeeping burden). The NRC estimates that the savings associated with § 72.7 more than offsets the added reporting and recordkeeping burden.
