NUHOMS-24P, -52B, and -61BT Revision; Confirmation of

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of February 12, 2002, for the direct final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of November 29, 2001 (66 FR 59531). 
This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations by revising the 
Transnuclear West, Inc. Standardized NUHOMS -24P, -52B, and -
61BT cask system listing within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel 
Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 4 to Certificate of Compliance 
(CoC) No. 1004. Amendment No. 4 allows the storage of low burn-up spent 
fuel in the NUHOMS-24 canister. In addition, the Technical 
Specifications (TS) are revised to correct administrative errors 
regarding the width dimension of the spent fuel. Specific changes are 
made to TS 1.2.1 and 1.2.15, Tables 1-1a, 1-1b, 1-1c, 1-1d, 1-2a, and 
1-2c, and Figure 1-1. The CoC is revised to change the certificate 
holder from Transnuclear West, Inc. to Transnuclear Inc. This document 
confirms the effective date.

DATES: The effective date of February 12, 2002, is confirmed for this 
direct final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 29, 2001 (66 FR 59531), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR 72 to revise the Transnuclear West, Inc. 
Standardized NUHOMS-24P, -52B, and -61BT cask system listing 
within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include 
Amendment No. 4 to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004. Amendment 
No. 4 allows the storage of low burn-up spent fuel in the 
NUHOMS-24P canister. In addition, the Technical 
Specifications (TS) are revised to correct administrative errors 
regarding the width dimension of the spent fuel. Specific changes are 
made to TS 1.2.1 and 1.2.15, Tables 1-1a, 1-1b, 1-1c, 1-1d, 1-2a, and 
1-2c, and Figure 1-1. The CoC is revised to change the certificate 
holder from Transnuclear West, Inc. to Transnuclear Inc. 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 4th day of February, 2002.
