List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: TN Americas LLC, NUHOMS® EOS Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Certificate of Compliance No. 1042, Amendment No. 3, 39119-39120 [2023-12709]

Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 115 / Thursday, June 15, 2023 / Rules and Regulations increased spending on promotion, and to add funds to Board reserves, which have been depleted due to reduced production in previous seasons. At the current assessment rate of $0.00575 and with the 2022–23 crop production at 242,352,172 pounds, assessment income would equal $1,393,525 ($0.00575 multiplied by 242,352,172), an amount insufficient to cover the Committee’s anticipated expenditures of $1,667,000. By increasing the assessment rate by $0.00175, assessment income would be approximately $1,817,641 ($0.0075 multiplied by 242,352,172). This amount, along with interest income, and funds from the reserve, should provide sufficient funds to meet 2022–23 anticipated expenses. Prior to arriving at this budget and assessment rate, the Board considered the level of production, projected expenditures, and the amount in the authorized reserve. The Board discussed alternatives, including maintaining the current assessment rate of $0.00575. However, leaving the assessment unchanged would not generate sufficient revenue to meet Board expenses for the 2022–23 fiscal period. Consequently, the Board determined that the assessment rate should be increased to $0.0075 per pound to generate sufficient revenue to meet expenses. Therefore, the Committee rejected the idea of maintaining the current assessment rate. A review of historical information and preliminary information pertaining to the upcoming season indicates the producer price for the 2022–23 season should be approximately $0.23 per pound of tart cherries. The assessment rate of $0.0075 per pound represents 3.26 percent of the $0.23 revenue for the 2021–22 fiscal period as a percentage of total producer revenue ($0.0075 divided by $0.23 multiplied by 100). This rule increases the assessment obligation imposed on handlers. While assessments impose additional costs on handlers, the costs are minimal and uniform on all handlers, and some of the costs may be passed on to growers. However, these costs are expected to be offset by the benefits derived by the operation of the Order. The Board’s meeting was widely publicized throughout the tart cherry industry, and all interested persons were invited to attend the meeting and participate in Board deliberations on all issues. Like all Board meetings, the September 8, 2022, meeting was a public meeting and all entities, both large and small, were able to express views on this issue. In addition, interested persons were invited to submit comments on the proposed rule, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Jun 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 including the regulatory and informational impacts of this action on small businesses. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Order’s information collection requirements have been previously approved by the OMB and assigned OMB No. 0581–0177, Tart Cherries Grown in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. No changes in those requirements would be necessary because of this rule. If any changes become necessary, they would be submitted to OMB for approval. This rule does not impose any additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either small or large tart cherry handlers. As with all Federal marketing order programs, reports and forms are periodically reviewed to reduce information requirements and duplication by industry and public sector agencies. AMS has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this final 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 proposed rule concerning this action was published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2023 (88 FR 11822). Copies of the proposed rule were also mailed or sent via email to all tart cherry handlers. A copy of the proposed rule was made available through the internet by AMS via https:// www.regulations.gov. A 30-day comment period ending March 27, 2023, was provided for interested persons to respond to the proposal. No comments were received. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the rule as proposed. 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. After consideration of all relevant material presented, including the information and recommendations submitted by the Board and other available information, AMS has determined that this rule tends to effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 2, 2023 (88 FR 27397), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the TN Americas 
LLC, NUHOMS[supreg] EOS Dry Spent Fuel Storage System listing within 
the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment 
No. 3 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1042.
    Amendment No. 3 revises the certificate of compliance to: add three 
new heat load zone configurations (HLZCs) for the EOS-89BTH Dry 
Shielded Canister (DSC) with increased heat load up to 1.7 kW per fuel 
assembly, which reduces the minimum cooling time to 1 year; add a 
variable-lead thickness EOS-TC125 for transfer with the EOS-89BTH DSC; 
add ATRIUM 11 fuel as an allowable content in the EOS-89BTH DSC and 
rerun the limiting GNF2 and ABB-10-C cases to reduce the statistical 
uncertainties and increase the enrichment limits; update the 
criticality evaluation to allow short-loading the EOS-89BTH DSC with 
less than 89 fuel assemblies to increase the enrichment limits; revise 
the technical specifications (TS) to allow for phased array automated 
ultrasonic testing and to utilize a single pass high amperage gas 
tungsten arc weld or multipass gas tungsten arc weld on the outer top 
cover plate; revise the TS to reduce EOS-37PTH HLZC 1 and 2 time limit 
for transfer to eight hours; incorporate a method to determine new 
loading patterns based on the maximum allowable heat load per DSC and 
per location specified in the TS and move all HLZCs and time limits for 
transfer for the EOS-89BTH DSC transferred in the EOS-TC125 from the 
technical specifications to Updated Final Safety Analysis Report 
(UFSAR) Chapter 2; waive the fabrication pressure test requirement for 
the single bottom forging EOS-DSCs; and make minor changes to TS and 
UFSAR for consistency among DSC types and terminology clarification. 
Amendment No. 3 also revises the certificate of compliance with three 
scope changes including: UFSAR revisions associated with transfer cask 
lifting heights and consideration of severe weather; UFSAR revisions 
associated with maintaining water in the annulus; and design changes to 
the Matrix Loading Crane.
    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on July 17, 2023. The NRC did not receive any comments on the 
direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become 
effective as scheduled.
