SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2021 (86 FR 15563), 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 TN Americas 
LLC Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Horizontal Modular Storage System 
listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to 
include Renewed Amendment No. 17 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1004. 
Renewed Amendment No. 17 revises the certificate of compliance 
technical specifications to 1) add Heat Load Zoning Configurations 11-
13 for the 61BTH Type 2 dry shielded canister and 2) change the maximum 
assembly heat load from 1.2kW to 1.7kW. This amendment also makes minor 
clarifications to the certificate of compliance.
    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on June 7, 2021. The NRC did not receive any comments on the 
direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become 
effective as scheduled.
