NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-20]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2508; 
Department of Energy TMI-2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment 1 to Materials License No. SNM-2508 held by the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) for the receipt, possession, storage and 
transfer of spent fuel in an independent spent fuel storage 
installation (ISFSI) located at the Idaho National Engineering and 
Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), within the Idaho Nuclear Technology 
and Engineering Center (INTEC) site in Scoville, Idaho. The amendment 
is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated March 26, 2001, DOE requested an amendment to 
its ISFSI license to correctly reflect the number of fuel and filter 
canisters that could be stored at the ISFSI. The correct number that 
can be stored is 267 (rather than 265) fuel, and 62 (rather than 67) 
filter, canisters.
    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action should be rescinded or modified.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 One 
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852-
2738, 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 4th day of April 2001.

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