SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the

concrete cask heat removal system is performed. Amendment No. 7 also 
revises the basis for technical specification A3.1.6 to clarify that 
the surveillance requirements for technical specification A3.1.6 
requires a minimum of two outlet air temperature measurements to 
provide an average outlet temperature.
