The amendments also allowed early redemption, under the same terms and conditions, of secondary capital accepted as a match to the governmentfunded secondary capital. Finally, the amendments changed the lossdistribution provision that applies to secondary capital accounts so that secondary capital accepted under the 2010 Community Development Capital Initiative is senior to any required matching secondary capital accepted from an alternative source. This rule confirms those amendments as final with some technical changes and clarifications. SUMMARY: DATES: Effective September 23, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 21, 2010 (75 FR 42292), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations at 10 CFR 72.214 
to include Amendment No. 6 to CoC No. 1025. Amendment No. 6 changes the 
configuration of the NAC-MPC storage system by the incorporation of a 
single closure lid with a welded closure ring for redundant closure 
into the Transportable Storage Canister (TSC) design; modification of 
the TSC and basket design to accommodate up to 68 La Crosse Boiling 
Water Reactor spent fuel assemblies (36 undamaged Exxon fuel assemblies 
and up to 32 damaged fuel cans (in a preferential loading pattern)) 
that may contain undamaged Exxon fuel assemblies and damaged Exxon and 
Allis Chalmers fuel assemblies and/or fuel debris; the addition of 
zirconium alloy shroud compaction debris to be stored with undamaged 
and damaged fuel assemblies; minor design modifications to the Vertical 
Concrete Cask incorporating design features from the MAGNASTOR System 
for improved operability of the system while adhering to as low as is 
reasonably achievable principles; an increase in the concrete pad 
compression strength from 4,000 psi to 6,000 psi; added justification 
for the 6-ft. soil depth as being conservative; and other changes to 
incorporate minor editorial corrections in CoC No. 1025 and Appendices 
A and B of the Technical Specifications (TS). Also, the Definitions in 
TS 1.1 are revised to include modifications and newly defined terms; 
the Limiting Conditions for Operation and associated Surveillance 
Requirements in TS 3.1 and 3.2 are revised; and editorial changes are
