Dear Mr. Dominik Bussmann:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has received your submittal dated June 7, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Number ML21188A178), as supplemented in letters dated December 21, 2022 (ML23012A097),

January 12, 2023 (ML23026A091), and April 21, 2023 (ML23124A284), requesting Amendment No. 0 of Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1052 for the CASTOR geo69 storage system.

We have completed our acceptance review of your submittal and have identified no administrative omissions or deficiencies that would prevent us from proceeding with a detailed review. Your submittal has been assigned a cost activity code (CAC)/enterprise project identification (EPID) number [001028 / L-2021-NEW-0006]. Please reference this number and docket No. 72-1052 in any future correspondence associated with this request.

Please note that the NRC staffs technical review of your submittal may identify issues that could require that you provide additional information. Based on our preliminary evaluation and projection of current review schedules, we anticipate completing our formal review by August 2024. This schedule includes the issuance, if needed, of a request for additional information (RAI) by November 2023, and receiving your response to the RAI 90 days after its issuance to allow adequate time to provide responses. Rulemaking is estimated to take 26 weeks, and if there are no significant adverse comments received during the comment period, the CoC is estimated to become effective in March 2025. Please note that these dates could change depending on the findings of our technical review, urgent assignments, or other factors, such as whether your responses to the RAI are or are not adequate. The NRC staff estimates that completing the review of your submittal will require approximately 2,840 staff-hours. We will promptly communicate significant schedule and/or cost changes, if any.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
