published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72,
``Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material,'' of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the certificate of
compliance to include two new versions of the HI-STORM UMAX (Version B1
and B2). In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no
significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would
become effective on June 16, 2026.
The NRC received and docketed one comment on the companion proposed

can be obtained from the Federal Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2026-0562 and is also available

against the criteria described in the direct final rule and determined

direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.
