Pursuant to the PRA and 5 CFR 1320, OMB continues the existing information collection approval under this OMB control number, and approves in part and does not approve in part the new information collection. OMB cannot approve the reporting requirement under section 72.212(b)(1)(ii). The Commission has not demonstrated that the requirement to report within 30 days of the initial storage of spent fuel in a cask is the least burdensome requirement necessary to achieve Commission objectives. Why could not this information be reported as part of the annual material balance inventory (10 CFR 72.51(b)). Additionally, the Commission has not demonstrated the practical utility of requiring the cask fabrication initiation and completion dates to be included as part of the cask record (section 72.234(d)(2)(iv) and (v)). See similar remarks at 3150-0132.
