NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

[NRC-2012-0052]
RIN 3150-AJ12


List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: HI-STORM 100 Cask 
System; Amendment No. 9; Corrections

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a 
document in the Federal Register (FR) on December 26, 2013, which 
corrected and delayed the effective date of a direct final rule 
published in the FR on December 6, 2013. The notice corrected several 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession 
numbers and delayed the effective date of the direct final rule from 
February 19, 2014, to March 11, 2014. The direct final rule amends the 
NRC's spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Holtec 
International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the ``List of 
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 9 to 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1014. This action is necessary to 
provide notification that the NRC is amending its regulations by 
revising the Holtec HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the ``List 
of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to correct the effective date of 
Amendment No. 9 to CoC No. 1014.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 14, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC published a direct final rule in the Federal Register on 
December 6, 2013 (78 FR 73379), and companion proposed rule (78 FR 
73456) which revised the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System 
listing within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to 
include Amendment No. 9 to CoC No. 1014. The direct final rule was to 
become effective February 19, 2014, unless significant adverse comments 
on the proposed rule were received by January 6, 2014. Subsequently, on 
December 26, 2013, the NRC published a correction to the direct final 
rule delaying the effective date to March 11, 2014 (78 FR 78165), and a 
correction to the companion proposed rule (78 FR 78285) extending the 
comment period to January 27, 2014. The December 26, 2013, correction 
was necessary to correct ADAMS accession numbers listed in the December 
6, 2013, direct final and proposed rules.
    The December 26, 2013, document omitted the revised effective date 
of Amendment No. 9 of CoC No. 1014. This document corrects the 
effective date to March 11, 2014.

II. Rulemaking Procedure

    Because this amendment corrects an effective date of a direct final 
rule that was already noticed in the FR, the Commission finds that the 
notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act are 
unnecessary and is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) 
to publish this amendment as a final rule. This amendment does not 
require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also, the 
final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any 
person or entity regulated by the NRC.
