List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International 
MAGNASTOR[supreg] Cask System; Certificate of Compliance No. 1031, 
Amendment No. 7

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 August 21, 2017, for the direct final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on June 6, 2017. The direct final 
rule amended the NRC's spent fuel storage regulations by revising the 
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 
7 to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1031 for the NAC 
International, MAGNASTOR[supreg] Cask System.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of August 21, 2017, for the 
direct final rule published June 6, 2017 (82 FR 25931), is confirmed.

Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2017 (82 FR 25931), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending Sec.  72.214 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations by revising the ``List of approved spent 
fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 7 to CoC No. 1031 for the 
NAC International, MAGNASTOR[supreg] Cask System. Amendment No. 7 
provides a new Passive MAGNASTOR[supreg] Transfer Cask and associated 
Technical Specification (TS) changes in Appendices A and B (ADAMS 
Accession Nos. ML16295A248 and ML16295A252), and updates Section 
4.3.1(i) in Appendix A of the TSs to include revised seismic 
requirements. Clarifying (non-technical) changes were also made to 
Appendices A and B.
    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on August 21, 2017. 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.
    One comment on the direct final rule was submitted to 
Regulations.gov, however, the comment did not raise information related 
to this CoC and therefore was not posted. Because no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule will become 
effective as scheduled.
    During the comment period for the direct final rule, the NRC 
identified missing change bars and formatting inconsistencies. 
Additionally, the NRC identified errors and omissions of text in the 
draft CoC and TSs associated with Amendment No. 7. In Appendix A, a 
number was accidently changed from 7 to 0 hours, in the table ``PWR 
[Pressurized Water Reactor] TSC [Transportable Storage Canister] 
Transfer Using MTC [MAGNASTOR[supreg] Transfer Cask] Reduced Helium 
Backfill Time.'' In Appendix B, footnote 3 omitted text; the footnote 
should read ``0.4 years for RCC [Reactor Control Components] in the 
PMTC [Passive MAGNASTOR[supreg] Transfer Cask] (reduced storage 
location heat load). For all other cask types, 0.2 years for RCC with 
10-year minimum cool time.'' Additionally, the description of the PMTC 
was inadvertently omitted from the CoC. The NRC evaluated the figures 
and information provided in NAC's applications and presented its 
findings in Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) (see Table 1, section 4.0 
of the SER for Amendment 4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15107A472) and 
sections 5.7 and 5.13 of the current SER (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML16295A258)), but the published draft CoC and TSs were in error. The 
administrative errors have been corrected in the final CoC and TSs. The 
final CoC, TSs, and SER for Amendment No. 7 for the MAGNASTOR[supreg] 
storage system can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession No. ML17013A466.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of August 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
