NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-10]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2506; 
Nuclear Management Company, LLC; Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment 5 to Materials License SNM-2506 held by the Nuclear 
Management Company, LLC (NMC) for the receipt, possession, transfer, 
and storage of spent fuel at the Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The 
amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated August 31, 1999, as supplemented November 8, 
1999; and March 13, April 6, and October 16, 2000, NMC requested to 
amend its ISFSI license to specifically permit the storage of burnable 
poison rod assemblies (BPRAs) and thimble plug devices (TPDs) within 
the TN-40 casks used at the Prairie Island ISFSI. 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action should be rescinded or modified.
    Also in connection with this action, the Commission prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI). The EA and FONSI were published in the Federal Register on 
January, 29, 2001 (66 FR 8123).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,'' 
a copy of the EA and FONSI are available electronically for public 
inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly 
Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). 
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of February 2001.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
E. William Brach,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety 
and Safeguards.
