Commission.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) published a direct
final rule in the Federal Register on
September 27, 2017, which amended its
spent fuel storage regulations by
revising the Standardized NUHOMS®
Horizontal Modular Storage System
(NUHOMS® System) listing within the
‘‘List of approved spent fuel storage
casks’’ to renew, for an additional 40year period, the initial certificate and
Amendment Nos. 1 through 11 and 13,
Revision 1, and Amendment No. 14 of
Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No.
1004. That direct final rule was effective
on December 11, 2017. The technical
specifications (TS) for the NUHOMS®
System, Renewed Amendments No. 11,
Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1
included an incorrect title in Figure 1–
15. The purpose of this action is to
correct this minor editorial and nonsubstantive error to Figure 1–15 for both
Renewed Amendments No. 11, Revision
1, and No. 13, Revision 1.
DATES: The correction is effective
January 24, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC
published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register on September 27, 2017
(82 FR 44879), which revised the
NUHOMS® System listing within the
‘‘List of approved spent fuel storage
casks’’ to renew, for an additional 40year period, the initial certificate and
Amendment Nos. 1 through 11 and 13,
Revision 1, and Amendment No. 14 of
CoC No. 1004. The direct final rule was
effective on December 11, 2017. The TSs
for the NUHOMS® System, Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and
No. 13, Revision 1, include an incorrect
title in Figure 1–15. Specifically, the
title of Figure 1–15 for Amendment No.
11, Revision 1, and Amendment No. 13,
Revision 1, reads ‘‘Heat Load Zoning
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH–S
and 24PTH–L DSCs (with or without
Control Components)(2)’’ instead of
‘‘Heat Load Zoning Configuration
Number 5 for 24PTH–S–LC DSC (with
or without Control Components)(2)’’.
Figure 1–15 was first included in the
TSs for CoC No. 1004 after the NRC’s
review and approval in Amendment No.
8 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML053390278). During the revision
process for the 13 amendments that
became effective on April 25, 2017 (82
FR 17749), the title of Figure 1–15 was
unintentionally changed in the
technical specifications for Amendment
No. 11, Revision 1, and Amendment No.
13, Revision 1, from ‘‘Heat Load Zoning
Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH–S–
LC DSC (with or without Control
Components)(2)’’ to ‘‘Heat Load Zoning
Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH–S
and 24PTH–L DSCs (with or without
Control Components)(2)’’. This error was
carried forward to Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and
No. 13, Revision 1. The NRC is
correcting the title of Figure 1–15 in the
technical specifications for both of these
amendments back to the original,
intended title, which is ‘‘Heat Load
Zoning Configuration Number 5 for
24PTH–S–LC DSC (with or without
Control Components)(2)’’. The Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and
No. 13, Revision 1, listings within ‘‘List
of approved spent fuel storage casks’’ in
§ 72.214 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) are being
revised to note that they have been
corrected.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may
waive the normal notice and comment
requirements if it finds, for good cause,
that they are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause
to waive notice and opportunity for
comment on the amendments because
they will have no substantive impact
and is of a minor and administrative
nature dealing with a correction to a
CFR section related to procedure and
practice. Specifically, this amendment
is to correct a minor editorial and nonsubstantive error. This amendment does
not require action by any person or
entity regulated by the NRC. Also, this

3262
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 24, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
final rule does not change the
substantive responsibilities of any
person or entity regulated by the NRC.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the
NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make
this rule effective upon publication.

Honeywell International Inc.
(Honeywell) TPE331 turboprop and
TSE331 turboshaft engines. This AD
was prompted by reports that
combustion chamber case assemblies
have cracked and ruptured. This AD
requires inspection of the affected

replacement of those assemblies found
cracked, and removal of affected

reports of three accidents involving
combustion chamber case assembly
ruptures. Investigations have shown
numerous cracked and ruptured
combustion chamber case assemblies
resulting from high stresses in the asdesigned weld joints and contributing
factors due to repair weld quality, poor
maintenance and inspection practices,
and cycles-in-service. The NPRM

We partially agree. We agree that we
inadvertently omitted mention of the
TSE331 turboshaft engines from the
‘‘Proposed AD Requirements’’ section in
the NPRM. We disagree with making a
change to this final rule because the
‘‘Proposed AD Requirements’’ section
does not exist in this final rule AD. We
did not change this AD.

Honeywell requested changes to the
Differences Between This Proposed AD
and the Service Information section
contained within the NPRM,
recommending revision of the removal

referenced service bulletins in the
NPRM recommend a revised
compliance calendar deadline for
certain redesigned combustion chamber
case assemblies. Honeywell indicated
the compliance deadline is March 31,
2021, for all redesigned combustion
chamber case assemblies.
We partially agree. We agree it would

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a
direct final rule in the Federal Register on September 27, 2017, which
amended its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Standardized
NUHOMS[supreg] Horizontal Modular Storage System (NUHOMS[supreg]
System) listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage
casks'' to renew, for an additional 40-year period, the initial
certificate and Amendment Nos. 1 through 11 and 13, Revision 1, and
Amendment No. 14 of Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004. That
direct final rule was effective on December 11, 2017. The technical
specifications (TS) for the NUHOMS[supreg] System, Renewed Amendments
No. 11, Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1 included an incorrect title
in Figure 1-15. The purpose of this action is to correct this minor
editorial and non-substantive error to Figure 1-15 for both Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1.
DATES: The correction is effective January 24, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register on September 27, 2017 (82 FR 44879), which revised the
NUHOMS[supreg] System listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel
storage casks'' to renew, for an additional 40-year period, the initial
certificate and Amendment Nos. 1 through 11 and 13, Revision 1, and
Amendment No. 14 of CoC No. 1004. The direct final rule was effective
on December 11, 2017. The TSs for the NUHOMS[supreg] System, Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1, include an
incorrect title in Figure 1-15. Specifically, the title of Figure 1-15
for Amendment No. 11, Revision 1, and Amendment No. 13, Revision 1,
reads ``Heat Load Zoning Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH-S and 24PTH-L
DSCs (with or without Control Components)\(2)\'' instead of ``Heat Load
Zoning Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH-S-LC DSC (with or without
Control Components)\(2)\''.
Figure 1-15 was first included in the TSs for CoC No. 1004 after
the NRC's review and approval in Amendment No. 8 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML053390278). During the revision process for the 13 amendments that
became effective on April 25, 2017 (82 FR 17749), the title of Figure
1-15 was unintentionally changed in the technical specifications for
Amendment No. 11, Revision 1, and Amendment No. 13, Revision 1, from
``Heat Load Zoning Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH-S-LC DSC (with or
without Control Components)\(2)\'' to ``Heat Load Zoning Configuration
Number 5 for 24PTH-S and 24PTH-L DSCs (with or without Control
Components)\(2)\''. This error was carried forward to Renewed
Amendments No. 11, Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1. The NRC is
correcting the title of Figure 1-15 in the technical specifications for
both of these amendments back to the original, intended title, which is
``Heat Load Zoning Configuration Number 5 for 24PTH-S-LC DSC (with or
without Control Components)\(2)\''. The Renewed Amendments No. 11,
Revision 1, and No. 13, Revision 1, listings within ``List of approved
spent fuel storage casks'' in Sec. 72.214 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) are being revised to note that they have
been corrected.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency
may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the
amendments because they will have no substantive impact and is of a
minor and administrative nature dealing with a correction to a CFR
section related to procedure and practice. Specifically, this amendment
is to correct a minor editorial and non-substantive error. This
amendment does not require action by any person or entity regulated by
the NRC. Also, this
[[Page 3262]]
final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any
person or entity regulated by the NRC. Accordingly, for the reasons
stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause
exists to make this rule effective upon publication.
List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 72
Administrative practice and procedures, Criminal penalties,
Hazardous waste, Indians, Intergovernmental relations, Manpower
training programs, Nuclear energy, Nuclear materials, Occupational
safety and health, Penalties, Radiation protection, Reporting and

For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization
Act of 1974, as amended; the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as
amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553; the NRC is adopting the following
amendment to 10 CFR part 72:
