AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the
effective date of May 27, 2025, for the direct final rule that was
published in the Federal Register on March 13, 2025. This direct final
rule amended the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing
within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include
Renewed Amendment No. 19 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014. Renewed
Amendment No. 19 revises the certificate of compliance to update the
acceptance criteria and method of evaluation (MOE) for the HI-STORM 100
system tipover accident for equipment combinations involving multi-
purpose canisters with Metamic-HT baskets. This involves applying a new
stress-based criteria and completing new evaluations consistent with
the new tipover acceptance criteria and MOE and involves some
adjustments of the existing deflection criteria.
DATES: The effective date of May 27, 2025, for the direct final rule
published March 13, 2025 (90 FR 11891), is confirmed.
