SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 2004, the NRC renewed 
Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-2500 for the GEMO ISFSI 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML043630433), located near Morris, Illinois. The 
renewed license authorizes GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC to 
possess, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel and associated 
radioactive materials at the GEMO-ISFSI for a term of 20 years. The NRC 
also issued an environmental assessment and finding of no significant 
impact related to the issuance of the renewed ISFSI license on November 
30, 2004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML043360409), in accordance with the 
National Environmental Policy Act, and in conformance with the 
applicable requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR part 51).
    On June 25, 2013, GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC submitted 
to the NRC a request for a license amendment in accordance with Sec.  
72.56, ``Application for amendment of license.'' The requested 
amendment would change section 8.2.1 of the GEMO technical 
specification to ensure that annual environmental reports are submitted 
in accordance with regulatory requirements. The application included 
adequate justification for the proposed changes.
    Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.46, the NRC has docketed, approved and issued 
Amendment No. 14 to Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-2500, 
held by GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC, for the possession, 
transfer and storage of spent fuel at the GEMO ISFSI. Amendment No. 14 
is effective as of the date of issuance.
    Amendment No. 14 complies with the standards and requirements of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's rules 
and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings, as 
required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 
CFR Chapter 1, which are set forth in Amendment No. 14. The issuance of 
Amendment No. 14 satisfied the criteria specified in 10 CFR 
51.22(c)(11) for a categorical exclusion. Therefore, the preparation of 
an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement is not 
required.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), the NRC has determined that 
Amendment No. 14 does not present a genuine issue as to whether public 
health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of April 2015.
