List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International Multi-Purpose Canister Storage System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1025, Amendment Nos. 7 and 8, 4683-4684 [2019-02599]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 33 / Tuesday, February 19, 2019 / Rules and Regulations recommended further refinements to the Order and the handling regulations to better meet current marketing needs. However, the industry did not petition to have the Order reactivated by the end of the suspension period. Therefore, this alternative was rejected, and AMS is terminating the Order. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the information collection requirements being terminated were previously approved by OMB and assigned OMB No. 0581–0178, Fruit, Vegetable and Specialty Crops. Termination of the reporting requirements under the Order will reduce the reporting and recordkeeping burden on Irish potato handlers in Southeastern states and should further reduce industry expenses. USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this rule. AMS is committed to complying with the E-Government Act, to promote the use of the internet and other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen access to Government information and services, and for other purposes. A small business guide on complying with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: https:// www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/ moa/small-businesses. Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Richard Lower at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. A proposed rule inviting comments regarding the termination of the Order was published in the Federal Register on July 25, 2018 (83 FR 35151). USDA distributed the rule to Virginia and North Carolina potato associations and other Southeastern potato industry members. In addition, the rule was made available on the internet by USDA and the Office of the Federal Register. The rule provided a 60-day comment period, which ended on September 24, 2018. One comment was received in support of the termination. Based on the foregoing, and pursuant to § 608c(16)(A) of the Act and § 953.66 of the Order, it is hereby found that Federal Marketing Order 953 regulating the handling of Irish potatoes grown in Southeastern states does not tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act and is therefore terminated. Section 608c(16)(A) of the Act requires USDA to notify Congress at least 60 days before terminating a Federal marketing order. Congress was so notified on October 24, 2018.

Amendment Nos. 11 and 12 revise multiple items in the technical specifications for multi-purpose canister models listed under Certificate of Compliance No. 1014; most of these revisions involve changes to the authorized contents. In addition, Amendment No. 11 makes several other editorial changes. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on February 25, 2019. 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 two comments and has determined that they are not significant adverse comments. One comment questioned the short-term economic gains. As this rulemaking only addressed changes to the technical specifications for dry shielded canisters used to store nuclear waste on-site, the NRC determined this comment to be out of scope of this direct final rule. The second comment concerned specific casks used at a reactor site, a direct final rule for another storage cask, and another cask that is the subject of an NRC enforcement action. These issues are also outside the scope of this direct final rule. The second commenter also stated that the environmental assessment for this direct final rule did not consider the effects of certain natural phenomena. Pursuant to 10 CFR part 72, the NRC requires that an applicant for a spent fuel storage system provide the design bases, design criteria, and the margins of safety for the system in its safety analysis. The design bases, design criteria, and safety margins include consideration of applicable natural phenomena. In its review, the NRC determined that the cask system is designed to mitigate the effects of design basis accidents, including humaninduced and the most severe natural phenomena. Specifically, in considering design requirements for each accident condition, the NRC evaluates whether the design would prevent loss of confinement, shielding, and criticality control in the event of an accident. The NRC identified a broad range of natural E:\FR\FM\19FER1.SGM 19FER1

    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on March 4, 2019. 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.
