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.
