SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2017 (82 FR 29225), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the Holtec HI-
STORM FW MPC Storage System listing within the ``List of Approved Spent 
Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 3 to CoC No. 1032. 
Amendment No. 3 revises authorized contents to allow burnup credit for 
fuel types in the MPC-37 and revises CoC Condition 8, which has been 
previously incorporated in Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032. In the 
direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse 
comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on 
September 11, 2017. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct 
final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as 
scheduled. The final CoC, Technical Specifications, and Safety 
Evaluation Report can be viewed in ADAMS under Package Accession No. 
ML17214A039.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of August, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
