In addition, the supplement adds an example of the calculation of a foreign currency index. The supplement also amends disclosures in the ODD to accommodate the fact that components of foreign currency indexes are foreign currencies rather than securities (e.g., by referring to ‘‘components’’ of an index rather than ‘‘constituent securities’’ of an index).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 2004, the NRC renewed 
Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-2500 for the GEMO ISFSI

renewed license authorizes GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC to 
possess, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel and associated 
radioactive materials at the GEMO-ISFSI for a term of 20 years. The NRC 
also issued an environmental assessment and finding of no significant 
impact related to the issuance of the renewed ISFSI license on November 
30, 2004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML043360409), in accordance with the

to the NRC a request for a license amendment in accordance with Sec.  
72.56, ``Application for amendment of license.'' The requested 
amendment would change section 8.2.1 of the GEMO technical
