SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prepares draft Interim 
Staff Guidance (ISG) documents for spent fuel storage or transportation 
casks or radioactive materials transportation package designs. These 
ISG documents provide clarifying guidance to the NRC staff when 
reviewing licensee integrated safety analyses, license applications or 
amendment requests or other related licensing. The NRC is soliciting 
public comments on Draft ISG-22, ``Potential Rod Splitting Due to 
Exposure to an Oxidizing Atmosphere During Short-Term Cask Loading 
Operations in LWR or Other Uranium Oxide Based Fuel,'' which will be 
considered in the final version or subsequent revisions.

II. Summary

    The purpose of this notice is to provide the public an opportunity 
to review and comment on the Draft Interim Staff Guidance-22 concerning 
exposure of spent fuel to an oxidizing atmosphere during the air 
blowdown operation. Draft Interim Staff Guidance-22, Revision 0, 
provides guidance to NRC staff on what documents should be reviewed and 
evaluated to ensure that sufficient controls are in place to prevent 
any part of the fuel rods from being exposed to an oxidizing 
atmosphere.
