SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC published a direct final rule in the Federal Register on
January 6, 2016 (81 FR 371), that amended its spent fuel storage
regulations by revising the Holtec HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing
within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include
Amendment No. 9, Revision 1, to CoC No. 1014. The direct final rule
inadvertently omitted Revision 1 to Amendment No. 8 (effective May 2,
2012, as corrected on November 16, 2012) to CoC No. 1014. In a final
rule published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2015 (80 FR
49887), the NRC amended its spent fuel storage regulations by revising
the Holtec HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the ``List of
approved spent fuel storage casks'' to add Revision 1 to Amendment No.
8 (effective May 2, 2012, as corrected on November 16, 2012) to the CoC
No. 1014. This document restores Revision 1 to Amendment No. 8
(effective May 2, 2012, as corrected on November 16, 2012) to CoC No.
1014.
II. Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency
may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the NRC finds
good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the
amendments because it will have no substantive impact and is of a minor
and administrative nature. Specifically, these amendments are to
restore Revision 1 to Amendment No. 8 (effective May 2, 2012, as
corrected on November 16, 2012) to CoC No. 1014. These amendments do
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. Furthermore, for these reasons,
the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists
to make this rule effective upon publication of this document.
