has made appropriate findings as
required by the Act and the
Commission’s rules and regulations in
10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in
the license amendment. The NRC
approved and issued Amendment No. 9

SNM–2506, held by NSPM for the
receipt, possession, transfer, and storage
of spent fuel and associated radioactive
materials at the PI ISFSI. Pursuant to 10

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 21, 2004, the NRC renewed
Special Nuclear Materials License No.
SNM–2500 for the GEMO ISFSI
(ADAMS Accession No. ML043630433),

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 National
Environmental Policy Act, and in
conformance with the applicable
requirements of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 51).
On June 25, 2013, GE-Hitachi Nuclear
Energy Americas, LLC submitted to the
NRC a request for a license amendment
in accordance with § 72.56,
‘‘Application for amendment of
license.’’ The requested amendment
would change section 8.2.1 of the
GEMO technical specification to ensure
that annual environmental reports are
submitted in accordance with regulatory
requirements. The application included
adequate justification for the proposed
changes.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.46, the NRC
has docketed, approved and issued
Amendment No. 14 to Special Nuclear
Materials License No. SNM–2500, held
by GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas,
LLC, for the possession, transfer and
storage of spent fuel at the GEMO ISFSI.
Amendment No. 14 is effective as of the
date of issuance.
Amendment No. 14 complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and the Commission’s rules and
regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings, as required by the
Act and the Commission’s rules and
regulations in 10 CFR Chapter 1, which
are set forth in Amendment No. 14. The
issuance of Amendment No. 14 satisfied
the criteria specified in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(11) for a categorical exclusion.
Therefore, the preparation of an
environmental assessment or an
environmental impact statement is not
required.
In accordance with 10 CFR
72.46(b)(2), the NRC has determined
that Amendment No. 14 does not
present a genuine issue as to whether
public health and safety will be
significantly affected. Therefore, the
publication of a notice of proposed
action and an opportunity for hearing or
a notice of hearing is not warranted.
Notice is hereby given of the right of
interested persons to request a hearing
on whether the action should be
rescinded or modified.

Commission received from the OCC five
definitive copies of the April 2015
Supplement.3
Foreign Currency Index Options
Currently, the ODD states that indexes
that may underlie options include stock
indexes, variability indexes, strategybased indexes, dividend indexes, and
relative performance indexes. In April
2013, the Commission approved a
proposed rule change by the
International Securities Exchange, LLC
(‘‘ISE’’) to list options on the Dow Jones
FXCM Dollar Index.4 The April 2015
Supplement amends disclosures in the
ODD to add foreign currency indexes as
a type of index that can underlie an
option, in order to accommodate the
trading of options on the Dow Jones
FXCM Dollar Index and similarly
structured foreign currency indexes.5
Specifically, the April 2015 Supplement
adds new disclosure regarding the
characteristics of foreign currency index
options and their special risks. 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).
Implied Volatility Index Options
The ODD currently contains general
disclosures on the characteristics and
risks of trading standardized options on
variability indexes. The ODD states that
variability indexes are indexes intended

foreign currencies. Foreign currency indexes are
calculated using exchange rates.
