ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a

spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 9, Revision 1, to 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1014. The direct final rule 
inadvertently omitted Revision 1 to Amendment No. 8 (effective May 2,

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.
