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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment 9 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 August 30, 2000, as supplemented May 11 and 
24, 2001, DOE requested an amendment to its ISFSI license to include a 
Safeguards Information Protection Plan per 10 CFR 73.21(h), to be added 
as an Appendix to the existing Physical Protection Plan.
    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action should be rescinded or modified.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)(12), an environmental assessment need not be prepared in 
connection with issuance of the amendment.
    The NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC's public 
documents. These documents may be accessed through the NRC's Public 
Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are 
problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC 
Public Document Room (PDR) Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-
4737 or by email to [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of June 2001.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Charles L. Miller,
Acting Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material 
Safety and Safeguards.
