original generic communication and any
supplements or revisions. The NRC is
currently publishing withdrawals of
generic communications on a quarterly
basis.
Withdrawal of the original generic
communication and supplements, if
applicable, will not affect the public’s
ability to obtain this information. The
original generic communication and
supplements will remain accessible
through ADAMS and the NRC’s generic
communications Web site. The NRC’s
generic communications Web site will
be updated to reflect the generic
communications status as withdrawn.
The generic communications Web site is
accessible at https://www.nrc.gov/

the guidance only applied to the Federal
Government shutdown of 2013, there is
no longer a need for this RIS.
• RIS 2013–16, Supplement 1,
‘‘Interactions Between the NRC and
NRC Stakeholders During a Lapse of
Agency Appropriations,’’ October 9,

2013 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML13273A190).
This supplement to RIS 2013–16 was
issued to notify addressees that NRC
appropriations no longer supported
normal operations, and the NRC would
be operating at a reduced level. Since
the guidance only applied to the Federal

AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) reviewed an
application by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for an amendment to
Materials License No. SNM–2512, for
the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility
independent spent fuel storage
installation (ISFSI), located on the Idaho
National Engineering Laboratory in
Butte County, Idaho. The amendment
revises the licensee delegation of
authority in the license, the technical
specifications, and the final safety
analysis report. These documents
currently delegate authority under the
license to the Manager, DOE Idaho
Operations Office. The amendment
would replace that reference with the
Deputy Manager, Idaho Cleanup Project
in each of the documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter
dated September 8, 2016, DOE
submitted to the NRC an application to
amend the Materials License No. SNM–
2512 for the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility
ISFSI, located on the Idaho National
Engineering Laboratory in Butte County,
Idaho (ADAMS Accession No.
ML16258A178). Materials License No.
SNM–2512 authorizes the licensee to
receive, possess, store, and transfer
spent nuclear fuel elements from the
Peach Bottom Unit 1 reactor and various
TRIGA reactors; reflector modules and
rods from the Shippingport reactor; and
associated radioactive materials and
components related to the fuel elements’
receipt, transfer, and storage. The
proposed amendment revises the
licensee delegation of authority in the
license, the technical specifications, and
the final safety analysis report. These
documents currently delegate authority
under the license to the Manager, DOE
Idaho Operations Office. The
amendment would replace that
reference with the Deputy Manager,
Idaho Cleanup Project in each of the
documents.
In a letter to DOE dated December 9,
2016, the NRC notified DOE that the
application was acceptable to begin a
technical review (ADAMS Accession

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 13, 2017 / Notices
No. ML16347A133). In accordance with
§ 72.16 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), a notice of
docketing was published in the Federal
Register on February 23, 2017 (82 FR
11485).
The NRC prepared a safety evaluation
report (SER) (ADAMS Accession No.
ML17151A201) to document its review
and evaluation of the amendment
request. As further explained in the
SER, the NRC has also determined that
the license amendment is administrative
in nature, and therefore satisfies the 10
CFR 51.22(c)(11) criteria for a
categorical exclusion from the
requirement to prepare an
environmental impact statement. Under
10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), this action is
eligible for categorical exclusion,
because it is an amendment to a
materials licenses which is
administrative, organizational, or
procedural in nature, or which results in
a change in process operations or
equipment, provided that (i) there is no
significant change in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of
any effluents that may be released
offsite, (ii) there is no significant
increase in individual or cumulative
occupational radiation exposure, (iii)
there is no significant construction
impact, and (iv) there is no significant
increase in the potential for or
consequences from radiological
accidents. Consequently, an
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact are not
required.
Upon completing its review, the NRC
staff determined the request complies
with the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), as well as the NRC’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 I, which are set forth in
the license amendment. The NRC
approved and issued Amendment No. 3
to Special Nuclear Materials License No.
SNM–2512, held by DOE for the receipt,
possession, transfer, and storage of
spent fuel and associated radioactive
materials at the Idaho Spent Fuel
Facility ISFSI. Amendment No. 3 was
effective as of the date of issuance.
In accordance with 10 CFR
72.46(b)(2), the NRC has determined
that Amendment No. 3 does not present
a genuine issue as to whether the health
and safety of the public 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

on whether the action should be

The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) (ADAMS Accession

that the license amendment is administrative in nature, and therefore

from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact statement.
Under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), this action is eligible for categorical
exclusion, because it is an amendment to a materials licenses which is
administrative, organizational, or procedural in nature, or which
results in a change in process operations or equipment, provided that
(i) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase

there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative
occupational radiation exposure, (iii) there is no significant
construction impact, and (iv) there is no significant increase in the
potential for or consequences from radiological accidents.
Consequently, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant
impact are not required.
Upon completing its review, the NRC staff determined the request
complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act

In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), the NRC has determined that
Amendment No. 3 does not present a genuine issue as to whether the
health and safety of the public will be significantly affected.
Therefore, the publication of a notice of proposed action and an
