SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion The NRC has issued a license to ISP for its WCS CISF in Andrews County, Texas (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML21188A096). Materials License No. SNM–2515 authorizes ISP to construct and operate its facility as proposed in its license application, as amended, and to receive, possess, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel, including a small quantity of mixed-oxide fuel, and Greater-than-Class-C radioactive waste at the WCS CISF. The license authorizes ISP to store up to 5,000 metric tons of uranium [5,500 short tons] of spent nuclear fuel for a license period of 40 years. ISP will be required to operate under the conditions listed in Materials License No. SNM–2515. The NRC staff’s ROD that supports the NRC’s decision to approve ISP’s license application for the WCS CISF and to issue Materials License No. SNM–2515 is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML21222A214. The ROD satisfies the regulatory requirement in section 51.102 paragraph (a) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which requires that a Commission decision on any action for which a final environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared be accompanied by or include a concise public ROD. As discussed in the ROD and the final EIS for ISP’s license application for a CISF for spent nuclear fuel in Andrews County, Texas (ADAMS Accession No. ML21209A955), the NRC staff considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included the No-Action alternative, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended; storage at a governmentowned CISF; alternative design and storage technologies; and alternative locations. The final EIS documents the environmental review, including the NRC staff’s recommendation to issue an NRC license to ISP to construct and operate a CISF for spent nuclear fuel at the proposed location, subject to the determinations in the NRC staff’s safety review of the application. The final EIS conclusion is based on the NRC staff’s independent environmental review, as well as (i) the license application, which includes the environmental report and supplemental documents and ISP’s responses to the NRC staff’s requests for additional information; (ii) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies and input from other stakeholders, including members of the public; and (iii) the assessments provided in the final EIS. The NRC staff prepared a final safety evaluation report that documents the staff’s safety and security review of the application (ADAMS Accession No. ML21188A101). The staff’s safety and security review found that the application met applicable NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 72, ‘‘Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste.’’ Documents related to the application carry Docket ID NRC–2016–0231. These documents for the ISP license include the license application, the applicant’s safety analysis report, emergency plan, physical security plan, environmental report, updates to these documents, and applicant supplements and responses to NRC staff requests for additional information, and the NRC staff’s final safety evaluation report, final EIS, and ROD. ISP’s request for a materials license was previously noticed in the Federal Register on November 14, 2016 (81 FR 79531). A notice of docketing with an opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to intervene was published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2017 (82 FR 8773). Four groups of petitioners filed petitions to intervene. An Atomic Safety and Licensing Board considered petitions and admitted one contention. The Board subsequently dismissed the contention as moot after ISP supplemented its application with information that the contention had noted was missing, and the Board subsequently terminated the adjudicatory proceeding. Intervenors appealed the decisions to the Commission, and the Commission affirmed the Board decisions, with one new contention remanded to the Board for consideration. The Board subsequently dismissed the remanded contention, and the Commission denied an appeal of the Board decision. In issuing a materials license to ISP for the WCS CISF, the NRC has determined based on its review of this application that there is reasonable assurance that: (i) The activities authorized by the license can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public; and (ii) these activities will be conducted in compliance with the applicable regulations of 10 CFR part 72. The NRC has further determined that the issuance of the license will not be inimical to the common defense and security. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ the details with respect to this action, including the final safety evaluation report and accompanying documentation and license, are available electronically in the ADAMS Public Documents collection at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC has issued a license to ISP for its WCS CISF in Andrews 
County, Texas (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML21188A096). Materials 
License No. SNM-2515 authorizes ISP to construct and operate its 
facility as proposed in its license application, as amended, and to 
receive, possess, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel, including a 
small quantity of mixed-oxide fuel, and Greater-than-Class-C 
radioactive waste at the WCS CISF. The license authorizes ISP to store 
up to 5,000 metric tons of uranium [5,500 short tons] of spent nuclear 
fuel for a license period of 40 years. ISP will be required to operate 
under the conditions listed in Materials License No. SNM-2515.
    The NRC staff's ROD that supports the NRC's decision to approve 
ISP's license application for the WCS CISF and to issue Materials 
License No. SNM-2515 is available in ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML21222A214. The ROD satisfies the regulatory requirement in section 
51.102 paragraph (a) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), which requires that a Commission decision on any action for which 
a final environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared be 
accompanied by or include a concise public ROD. As discussed in the ROD 
and the final EIS for ISP's license application for a CISF for spent 
nuclear fuel in Andrews County, Texas (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML21209A955), the NRC staff considered a range of reasonable 
alternatives that included the No-Action alternative, as required by 
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended; storage at a 
government-owned CISF; alternative design and storage technologies; and 
alternative locations. The final EIS documents the environmental 
review, including the NRC staff's recommendation to issue an NRC 
license to ISP to construct and operate a CISF for spent nuclear fuel 
at the proposed location, subject to the determinations in the NRC 
staff's safety review of the application. The final EIS conclusion is 
based on the NRC staff's independent environmental review, as well as 
(i) the license application, which includes the environmental report 
and supplemental documents and ISP's responses to the NRC staff's 
requests for additional information; (ii) consultation with Federal, 
State, Tribal, and local agencies and input from other stakeholders, 
including members of the public; and (iii) the assessments provided in 
the final EIS.
    The NRC staff prepared a final safety evaluation report that 
documents the staff's safety and security review of the application 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML21188A101). The staff's safety and security 
review found that the application met applicable NRC regulations in 10 
CFR part 72, ``Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of 
Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related 
Greater than Class C Waste.''
    Documents related to the application carry Docket ID NRC-2016-0231. 
These documents for the ISP license include the license application, 
the applicant's safety analysis report, emergency plan, physical 
security plan, environmental report, updates to these documents, and 
applicant supplements and responses to NRC staff requests for 
additional information, and the NRC staff's final safety evaluation 
report, final EIS, and ROD.
    ISP's request for a materials license was previously noticed in the 
Federal Register on November 14, 2016 (81 FR 79531). A notice of 
docketing with an opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for 
leave to intervene was published in the Federal Register on January 30, 
2017 (82 FR 8773). Four groups of petitioners filed petitions to 
intervene. An Atomic Safety and Licensing Board considered petitions 
and admitted one contention. The Board subsequently dismissed the 
contention as moot after ISP supplemented its application with 
information that the contention had noted was missing, and the Board 
subsequently terminated the adjudicatory proceeding. Intervenors 
appealed the decisions to the Commission, and the Commission affirmed 
the Board decisions, with one new contention remanded to the Board for 
consideration. The Board subsequently dismissed the remanded 
contention, and the Commission denied an appeal of the Board decision.
    In issuing a materials license to ISP for the WCS CISF, the NRC has 
determined based on its review of this application that there is 
reasonable assurance that: (i) The activities authorized by the license 
can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the 
public; and (ii) these activities will be conducted in compliance with 
the applicable regulations of 10 CFR part 72. The NRC has further 
determined that the issuance of the license will not be inimical to the 
common defense and security.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,'' 
the details with respect to this action, including the final safety 
evaluation report and accompanying documentation and license, are 
available electronically in the ADAMS Public Documents collection at 
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, you can
