SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 3, 2025 (90 FR 204), 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 NAC
International, Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System listing within the
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No.
14 and revisions to Amendment Nos. 0 through 13 to Certificate of
Compliance No. 1031. Amendment No. 14 and revisions to Amendment Nos. 0
through 13 revise the certificate of compliance to add a revised method
of evaluation for the non-mechanistic tipover accident, clarify in the
technical specifications that damaged missing grid spacers only apply
to pressurized-water reactor fuel assembles, clarify inlet and outlet
vent blockage and surveillance requirements in limiting condition for
operation 3.1.2 in Appendix A to the certificate of compliance and
associated technical specification bases, and remove the reference to
Type II Portland cement in the description of the certificate of
compliance. The NRC also corrected typographical errors.
In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become
effective on March 19, 2025. The NRC received and docketed one comment
on the companion proposed rule (90 FR 268; January 3, 2025). An
electronic copy of the comment can be obtained from the Federal
Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-
2024-0180 and is also available in ADAMS under Accession No.
ML25037A135. The NRC evaluated the comment against the criteria
described in the direct final rule and determined that the comment was
not significant and adverse. Specifically, the comment was outside the
scope of this rulemaking and did not oppose the rule; propose a change
or an addition to the rule; or cause the NRC to make a change to the
rule, the certificate of compliance, or the technical specifications.
Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.
Dated: February 12, 2025.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
