SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion Based upon the application dated March 23, 2017, as supplemented January 29, 2019, February 21, 2019, and June 10, 2019, the NRC has issued a renewed license to the licensee for the Trojan ISFSI, located in Columbia County, Oregon. The renewed license SNM–2509 authorizes and requires operation of the Trojan ISFSI in accordance with the provisions of the renewed license and its technical specifications. The renewed license will expire on March 31, 2059. The licensee’s application for a renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC’s rules and regulations. The NRC has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the NRC’s regulations in Chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2017 (82 FR 39463). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation, the ISFSI will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The NRC staff also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the renewal of this license, which were published on July 8, 2019 (84 FR 32478). The NRC staff’s consideration of the impacts of continued storage of spent nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG–2157, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Fuel’’) was included in the environmental assessment. The NRC staff concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. II.

Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. II. Background The NRC utilizes information that is currently contained in multiple documents (NUREG–1609, NUREG– 1617, and numerous ISGs) to assist the NRC staff in its reviews of packages containing radioactive material. The NRC’s intent in combining and updating these documents into one document is to assist NRC staff in its reviews by promoting a consistent regulatory review of transportation packages; by promoting quality and uniformity of these reviews across each technical discipline; presenting a basis for the review’s scope; identifying acceptable approaches to meeting regulatory requirements; and suggesting possible evaluation findings that can be used in the safety evaluation report for applications submitted under part 71 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). III. Discussion This SRP provides guidance to the NRC staff for reviewing an application for a package approval issued under 10 CFR part 71, ‘‘Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material.’’ NRC approval of a package design typically results in issuance of a CoC or a letter amendment for a transportation package. The objectives of this SRP are to assist the NRC staff in its reviews by: • Providing a basis that promotes uniform quality and a consistent regulatory review of an application for a CoC for a transportation package. • presenting a basis for the review’s scope. • identifying acceptable approaches to meeting regulatory requirements. • suggesting possible evaluation findings that can be used in the safety evaluation report. This SRP may be revised and updated as the need arises on a chapter-bychapter basis to clarify the content, correct errors, or incorporate modifications approved by the Director of the NRC Division of Spent Fuel Management. Proposed Action By this action, the NRC is requesting public comments on draft NUREG– 2216, Revision 0. The NRC invites comments on all portions of this Standard Review Plan that the E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM 16AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    Based upon the application dated March 23, 2017, as supplemented 
January 29, 2019, February 21, 2019, and June 10, 2019, the NRC has 
issued a renewed license to the licensee for the Trojan ISFSI, located 
in Columbia County, Oregon. The renewed license SNM-2509 authorizes and 
requires operation of the Trojan ISFSI in accordance with the 
provisions of the renewed license and its technical specifications. The 
renewed license will expire on March 31, 2059.
    The licensee's application for a renewed license complies with the 
standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 
(the Act), and the NRC's rules and regulations. The NRC has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the NRC's regulations 
in Chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency 
afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for 
a Hearing published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2017 (82 FR 
39463). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave 
to intervene following the notice.
    The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal 
of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation, the ISFSI 
will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The NRC staff 
also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant 
impact for the renewal of this license, which were published on July 8, 
2019 (84 FR 32478). The NRC staff's consideration of the impacts of 
continued storage of spent nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG-2157, 
``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent 
Fuel'') was included in the environmental assessment. The NRC staff 
concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a 
significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
