SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For
additional information see the direct
final rule published in the final rules
section of this Federal Register.
Procedural Background
On May 25, 2005, a direct final rule
(70 FR 29931) and companion proposed
rule (70 FR 30015) were published in
the Federal Register, to revise the cask
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:23 Sep 19, 2005
Jkt 205001
system listing for the Transnuclear, Inc.
(TN) Standardized NUHOMS System,
by adding Amendment No. 8 to the list
of approved spent fuel storage casks in
10 CFR 72.214. After the rules were
published, staff became aware of needed
changes in the TS associated with the
CoC, and on July 15, 2005, the NRC
withdrew the direct final rule (70 FR
40879) and the proposed rule (70 FR
40924). This rule includes the original
Amendment No. 8 changes, revised TS
1.2.17c and 1.2.18, Table 1–1l, and
additional changes, as discussed in the
direct final rule. These additional
changes were originally to be addressed
as a subsequent amendment. However,
the withdrawal of the May 25, 2005,
package allowed the staff to combine
this information into Amendment 8.
This results in a more effective and
efficient use of resources.
This rule is limited to the changes
contained in Amendment No. 8 to CoC
No. 1004 and does not include other
aspects of the Standardized NUHOMS
System cask design. The NRC is using
the ‘‘direct final rule procedure’’ to
issue this amendment because it
represents a limited and routine change
to an existing CoC that is expected to be
noncontroversial. Adequate protection
of public health and safety continues to
be ensured. The direct final rule will
become effective on December 5, 2005.
However, if the NRC receives significant
adverse comments by October 20, 2005,
then the NRC will publish a document
that withdraws the direct final rule and
will subsequently address the comments
received in a final rule. The NRC will
not initiate a second comment period on
this action.
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. A
comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and
provides a reason sufficient to require a
substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, in a
substantive response:
(a) The comment causes the NRC staff
to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position
or conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue
serious enough to warrant a substantive
response to clarify or complete the
record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant
issue that was not previously addressed
or considered by the NRC staff.
(2) The comment proposes a change
or an addition to the rule, and it is
apparent that the rule would be
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
55037
ineffective or unacceptable without
incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC staff
to make a change (other than editorial)
to the CoC or TS.

proposing to establish CGMP
requirements for approved PET drug
products. For investigational and
research PET drugs, the proposed rule
states that the requirement to follow
CGMP may be met by producing PET
drugs in accordance with the United
States Pharmacopeia (USP) general
chapter on compounding PET
radiopharmaceuticals. We are proposing
to establish these CGMP requirements
for all PET drugs under the provisions
of the Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997 (the
Modernization Act). Elsewhere in this

announcing the availability of the draft

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the direct
final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal
Register.
Procedural Background
On May 25, 2005, a direct final rule (70 FR 29931) and companion
proposed rule (70 FR 30015) were published in the Federal Register, to
revise the cask system listing for the Transnuclear, Inc. (TN)
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] System, by adding Amendment No. 8 to the
list of approved spent fuel storage casks in 10 CFR 72.214. After the
rules were published, staff became aware of needed changes in the TS
associated with the CoC, and on July 15, 2005, the NRC withdrew the
direct final rule (70 FR 40879) and the proposed rule (70 FR 40924).
This rule includes the original Amendment No. 8 changes, revised TS
1.2.17c and 1.2.18, Table 1-1l, and additional changes, as discussed in
the direct final rule. These additional changes were originally to be
addressed as a subsequent amendment. However, the withdrawal of the May
25, 2005, package allowed the staff to combine this information into
Amendment 8. This results in a more effective and efficient use of
resources.
This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 8 to
CoC No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the Standardized
NUHOMS[supreg] System cask design. The NRC is using the ``direct final
rule procedure'' to issue this amendment because it represents a
limited and routine change to an existing CoC that is expected to be
noncontroversial. Adequate protection of public health and safety
continues to be ensured. The direct final rule will become effective on
December 5, 2005. However, if the NRC receives significant adverse
comments by October 20, 2005, then the NRC will publish a document that
withdraws the direct final rule and will subsequently address the
comments received in a final rule. The NRC will not initiate a second
comment period on this action.
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. A comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For
example, in a substantive response:
(a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider)
its position or conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously
addressed or considered by the NRC staff.
(2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable
without incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC staff to make a change (other than
editorial) to the CoC or TS.
