SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of November 5, 2001, for the direct final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of August 21, 2001 (66 FR 43761). This 
direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations revising the ``List of 
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' by terminating Certificate of 
Compliance Number 1001 for the Westinghouse MC-10 cask system. The 
Westinghouse MC-10 can no longer be used to store spent fuel under a 
general license. This document confirms the effective date.

DATES: The effective date of November 5, 2001 is confirmed for this 
direct final rule.

received, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 11555

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2001 (66 FR 43761), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR 72 revising the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel 
Storage Casks'' by terminating Certificate of Compliance Number 1001 
for the Westinghouse MC-10 cask system. The Westinghouse MC-10 can no 
longer be used to store spent fuel 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 29th day of October, 2001.

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