SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 25, 2017 (82 FR 8353), the NRC published a direct final rule amending 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. 14 and Revision 1 to the Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004 for the AREVA Inc., Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System. Amendment No. 14 revises multiple items in the technical specifications (TSs) for dry shielded canister (DSC) models listed under CoC No. 1004; most of these revisions involve changes to the authorized contents. The revisions to the Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13 remove language in the TSs that requires a transfer cask containing a DSC to be returned to the spent fuel pool following a drop of over 15 inches. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on April 25, 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. Because no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule will become effective as scheduled. During the comment period for the direct final rule, the NRC identified misspellings and page numbering errors in the draft CoCs and TSs associated with Revision 1 of the Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13. The final CoCs and TSs have been corrected for these administrative errors. Also, the draft CoCs were changed to update the signature block for issuing authority. The final CoCs, TSs, and the final Safety Evaluation Report for Revision 1 of the Initial Certificate, Amendment Nos. 1 through 11, and Amendment No. 13 can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession No. ML17067A412. The final CoC, TSs, and the final Safety Evaluation Report for Amendment No. 14 to CoC No. 1004 can be viewed in ADAMS under Accession No. ML17093A261. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of April, 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Cindy Bladey, Chief, Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration. [FR Doc. 2017-07422 Filed 4-12-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P
