NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-9]


 Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2504 
Department of Energy; Fort St. Vrain Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment 8 to Materials License No. SNM-2504 held by the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) for the receipt, possession, storage, and 
transfer of spent fuel at the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) independent spent 
fuel storage installation (ISFSI), located in Weld County, Colorado. 
The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated January 18, 2000, DOE requested an amendment 
to its ISFSI license to revise its radiological environmental 
monitoring program and to revise Technical Specification 5.5.2, 
``Essential Program Control Program.''
    This amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's 
rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as 
required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 
CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.
    The Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 
51.22(c)(11), an environmental assessment need not be prepared in 
connection with issuance of the amendment.
    Documents related to this action are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room located at the 
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555, and 
accessible electronically through the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading 
Room link at the NRC Web site (http://www.nrc.gov).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of March 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
M. Wayne Hodges,
Acting Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material 
Safety and Safeguards.
