SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of April 21, 2025, for the direct final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2025. This direct 
final rule amended the NRC's spent fuel storage regulations by revising 
the Holtec International HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System listing 
within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include 
Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 to Certificate of Compliance 
(CoC) No. 1040. Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 updates the 
CoC appendix A technical specifications for radiation protection and 
the associated bases information to clearly articulate the basis for 
the dose rate limits for the closure lids, modify the dose rate limit 
values and the description of the location of the dose rate 
measurements, and make other editorial changes.

DATES: Effective date: The effective date of April 21, 2025, for the 
direct final rule published February 4, 2025 (90 FR 8861), is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 4, 2025 (90 FR 8861), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise Amendment Nos. 0 
through 2 to CoC No. 1040 for the Holtec International, HI-STORM UMAX 
Cannister Storage System. Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 
update the CoC appendix A technical specifications for radiation 
protection and the associated bases information to clearly articulate 
the basis for the dose rate limits for the closure lids, modify the 
dose rate limit values and the description of the location of the dose 
rate measurements, and make other editorial changes. In the direct 
final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were 
received, the direct final rule would become effective on April 21, 
2025. The NRC received one comment on the direct final rule that was 
out of scope and not significantly adverse. Therefore, this direct 
final rule will become effective as scheduled.
