NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

RIN 3150-AG67


List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: HI-STAR 100 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 29, 2001, for the direct final rule that appeared 
in the Federal Register of March 13, 2001 (66 FR 14483). This direct 
final rule amended the NRC's regulations by revising the Holtec 
International HI-STAR 100 cask system listing within the ``List of 
approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to the 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC).

DATES: The effective date of May 29, 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 
website, contact Ms. Carol Gallagher (301) 415-5905; e-mail

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stan Turel, telephone (301) 415-6234, 
e-mail, [email protected], of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and 
Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 13, 2001 (66 FR 14483), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR 72 to revising the Holtec International HI-STAR 
100 cask system listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel 
storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to the Certificate of 
Compliance (CoC). Amendment No. 2 revises the HI-STAR 100 cask system 
Appendix B of the Technical Specifications (TS), Item 1.4.6, ``Specific 
Parameters and Analysis for the Storage Pad and Foundation'' to 
simplify the language of this specification. The current 60-g limit for 
cask drop and tipover events in TS Item 1.4.6 would remain unchanged. 
This document confirms the effective date. 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 18th day of May 2001.

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