SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register on March 24, 2017 (82 FR 14991), which added the TN
Americas LLC NUHOMS[supreg] EOS Dry Spent Fuel Storage System to the
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' as CoC No. 1042. The
direct final rule was effective on June 7, 2017. The CoC expiration
date listed in the direct final rule was incorrect. This document
corrects the CoC expiration date.
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)(3)(B), the NRC
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the
amendment because it will have no substantive impact and is of a minor
and administrative nature dealing with a correction to a CFR section
related only to management, organization, procedure, and practice.
Specifically, this amendment is to correct an editorial error. This
amendment does not require action by any person or entity regulated by
the NRC. Also, this final rule does not change the substantive
responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make this rule effective
upon publication.
