    The author considers the superposition of \(d\) independent and identically distributed renewal processes. Then, the author defines an embedded counting process that describes the simultaneous presence of points from the individual renewal streams in consecutive intervals of a fixed given length. In the main result of the paper, the author obtains the limit distribution in closed form of \(X_{n}\), where \(X_{n}\) counts the number of renewal streams that have points in the current inspection interval.
