SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion

    On November 18, 2015 (80 FR 71929), the NRC published a direct 
final rule amending its regulations in Sec.  72.214 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations by revising the NAC International, Inc., 
MAGNASTOR[supreg] Cask System listing within the ``List of approved 
spent fuel storage casks'' to include Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0-3 
to CoC No. 1031. Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0-3 to CoC No. 1031 makes 
changes to the TSs, including correcting a typographical error in two 
actual boron loadings in TS 4.1.1(a), and revising the decay times in 
Tables B2-4 (for Amendment Nos. 0 and 1) and B2-5 (for Amendment Nos. 2 
and 3) in Appendix B of the TSs for minimum additional decay time 
required for spent fuel assemblies that contain nonfuel hardware.

II. Public Comments on the Companion Proposed Rule

    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on February 1, 2016. The NRC did not receive any comments on 
the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become 
effective as scheduled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of January, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
