SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the
effective date of May 13, 2019, for the direct final rule that was
published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2019. The direct
final rule amended the NRC's spent fuel storage regulations by revising
the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No.
13 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014. Amendment No. 13 revises
Appendix B of the technical specifications to update the initial
uranium weight for the 16x16B and 16x16C assembly classes to match the
value for 16x16A.
DATES: Effective date: The effective date of May 13, 2019, for the
direct final rule published February 26, 2019 (84 FR 6055), is
confirmed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 26, 2019 (84 FR 6055), the NRC
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to the HI-STORM 100 System
listing within Sec. 72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage
casks,'' to include Amendment No. 13 to Certificate of Compliance No.
1014. Amendment No. 13 revises Appendix B of the technical
specifications to update the initial uranium weight for the 16x16B and
16x16C assembly classes to match the value for 16x16A.
In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become
effective on May 13, 2019. As described more fully in the direct final
rule, a significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change.
The NRC received one comment and has determined that it is not a
significant adverse comment. The comment requested that small entities
suffering from dishonor and long term endangerment inflicted by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 be awarded relief immediately at fair market
value. As this rulemaking only addressed changes to the technical
specifications for dry shielded canisters used to store nuclear waste
on-site, the NRC determined this comment to be out of scope of this
direct final rule.
Because no significant adverse comments were received, this direct
final rule will become effective as scheduled.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of April 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Cindy K. Bladey,
Chief, Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of
Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
