SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 2004, the NRC renewed 
Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-2500 for the GEMO independent 
spent fuel storage installation (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 part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR).
    Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.46 and 72.58, the NRC has docketed, approved 
and issued Amendment No. 15 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. 15 is effective as of the date of issuance.
    Amendment No. 15 complies with the standards and requirements of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 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. 
15. The issuance of Amendment No. 15 satisfied the criteria specified 
in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(v) for a categorical exclusion. Thus, the 
preparation of an environmental assessment or an environmental impact 
statement was not required.
    A Notice of Opportunity to Request a Hearing and to Petition for 
Leave to Intervene in connection with this action was published in the 
Federal Register on April 24, 2017 (82 FR 18937). No request for a
