RIN 3150-AG72


List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: 
FuelSolutionsTM Revision; Confirmation of Effective Date

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of May 14, 2001, for the direct final rule that appeared 
in the Federal Register of February 27, 2001 (66 FR 12435). This direct 
final rule amended the NRC's regulations by revising the BNFL Fuel 
Solutions FuelSolutionsTM cask system listing within the 
``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 
1 to the Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Amendment No. 1 will modify 
the present cask system design to allow the Big Rock Point nuclear 
facility to store mixed-oxide fuel assemblies, partial fuel assemblies, 
and damaged fuel assemblies (in a can) under a general license. This 
document confirms the effective date.

DATES: The effective date of May 14, 2001, is confirmed for this direct 
final rule.

ADDRESSES: Documents related to this rulemaking, including comments 
received, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. These same documents may also be viewed 
and downloaded electronically via the rulemaking website (http://ruleforum.llnl.gov). For information about the interactive rulemaking

Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 27, 2001 (66 FR 12435), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR part 72 by revising the BNFL Fuel Solutions 
FuelSolutionsTM cask system listing within the ``List of 
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 1 to the 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Amendment No. 1 will modify the 
present cask system design to allow the Big Rock Point nuclear facility 
to store mixed-oxide fuel assemblies, partial fuel assemblies, and 
damaged fuel assemblies (in a can) under a general license. In the 
direct final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments 
were received, the direct final rule would become final on the date 
noted above. The NRC did not receive any comments that warranted 
withdrawal of the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become 
effective as scheduled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of April, 2001.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael T. Lesar,
Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative 
Services, Office of Administration.
