SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 1, 2021 (86 FR 54341), 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 
International HI-STAR 100 Cask System listing in the ``List of approved 
spent fuel storage casks'' to renew, for an additional 40 years, the 
initial certificate and Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3 of Certificate of 
Compliance No. 1008. The renewal of the initial certificate and 
Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3 of Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 
revises the certificate of compliance's conditions and technical 
specifications to address aging management activities related to the 
structures, systems, and components of the dry storage system to ensure 
that these will maintain their intended functions during the period of 
extended storage operations. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated 
that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final 
rule would become effective on December 15, 2021. The NRC did not 
receive any comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct 
final rule will become effective as scheduled.
