SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 25, 2016 (81 FR 73335), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in Sec. 72.214 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations by revising the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1040 for the Holtec International HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System. Amendment No. 2 adds new fuel types to the HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System and updates an existing fuel type description. Additionally, Amendment No. 2 updates Table 3-4 of Appendix B of the CoC to reflect correct terminology and makes editorial changes to Appendix B of the CoC to clarify the description of the top surface pad. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on January 9, 2017. As described more fully in the direct final rule, 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. The NRC received one comment on the direct final rule (ADAMS Accession No. ML16305A134). The NRC determined that this comment is not within the scope of the direct final rule, which is limited to the specific changes contained in Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1040. The NRC also determined that this was not a significant adverse comment and did not make any changes to the direct final rule as a result of the public comment. Therefore, because no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule will become effective as scheduled. The final CoC, Technical Specifications, and Safety Evaluation Report can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession No. ML16341B061. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of January 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Cindy Bladey, Chief, Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration.
