SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 5, 2021 (86 FR 42681), the NRC

Certificate of Compliance No. 1015. Amendment No. 8 revises the 
certificate of compliance to add the storage of damaged boiling-water 
reactor spent fuel, including higher enrichment and higher burnup spent 
fuel; change the allowable fuel burnup range; expand the boiling-water 
reactor class 5 fuel inventory that could be stored in the cask; and 
revise definitions in the technical specifications. In the direct final 
rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were 
received, the direct final rule would become effective on October 19, 
2021. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule.
