SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 25, 2017 (82 FR 8353), 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. 14 and Revision 1 to the 
Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13 
to CoC No. 1004 for the AREVA Inc., Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask 
System. Amendment No. 14 revises multiple items in the technical 
specifications (TSs) for dry shielded canister (DSC) models listed 
under CoC No. 1004; most of these revisions involve changes to the 
authorized contents. The revisions to the Initial Certificate, 
Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13 remove language in 
the TSs that requires a transfer cask containing a DSC to be returned 
to the spent fuel pool following a drop of over 15 inches.
    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on April 25, 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. 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 misspellings and page numbering errors in the draft CoCs and 
TSs associated with Revision 1 of the Initial Certificate, Amendment 
Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13. The final CoCs and TSs have 
been corrected for these administrative errors. Also, the draft CoCs 
were changed to update the signature block for issuing authority. The 
final CoCs, TSs, and the final Safety Evaluation Report for Revision 1 
of the Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment 
No. 13 can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession No. ML17067A412.
    The final CoC, TSs, and the final Safety Evaluation Report for 
Amendment No. 14 to CoC No. 1004 can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession 
No. ML17093A261.

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